Normally, I’d agree with you. But I think in this case it is acceptable because the author is trying to convey that it is an implementation of AWK in Go. In general, I think that it is acceptable to include the language name in the project if you are trying to to convey that the project is an implementation; of another project in that language and is not really meant to differ significantly from the original. Such projects are typically meant as an experiment, a library implementation for the target language etc. Anything else should be named differently — especially if it is going to differ significantly from the original. Another thing to keep in mind is that by naming the project GoAWK, the author is as good as claiming that this is the canonical implementation of AWK in Go— something they may not have intended.
