The majority in what I said is = [people who treat Go as GoLang first AND Go as the game Go first] = the set of all people reading hacker news minus those who don't know either Go. Writing GoLang removes ambiguity for this majority. My first comment on this subthread has shown that neither you nor any other poster has proven that Go = Go first for most. Nothing you or any other parent comment including my own has proven either of Go = GoLang first OR Go = Go the game first for the majority of people.

When the headline reads "Why everyone hates Go", I'm pretty sure it can't be about the game. I don't think I'm being an exceptional individual - humans in general are very good at taking hints from context.
