Seems like you're splitting semantic hairs. The language maintainers regularly and consistently use "golang" as a disambiguation: * golang.org * github.com/golang * Twitter @golang and #golang * golang-nuts In this context, it seems pretty "official" and the rebuke "factually incorrect" or at least the rebuke applies equally to the maintainers. That said, it was a single wayward comment and it is (in my experience) out of character. I want to acknowledge that it was rude and validate the person who was wrongly rebuked; I explicitly don't want to pick on anyone nor tempt the Internet to pile on.
