The domain is dlang.org, the github repository is called dlang, the titles of their pages are things like "Dlang tour" and "Dlang forums". It's already searchable as dlang with no issues.

The sad part is, every time I type dlang in google for something, it tries to correct it to golang and that's terrible. duckduckgo doesn't do that.

  I mean, Go is funded by google. So, that's kind of what you get when you use a search engine that is run by a major advertising corporation, I think. I hold a rather controversial (at least for HN, apparently) opinion that, I don't think we can expect a corporation to be impartial if there's no legal impetus on it and there's no monetary reason for them to act impartially. Google is a business, that makes money from selling your searches and displaying advertising. So, it's going to do exactly that.

    Did you try typing it in ? It does nothing of the sort and goes to dlang's page.

      I see. I can get some of those too. Thought you meant the "Showing results for xxx / Search instead for yyy" correction, which switches your (unpopular) yyy query under you. The suggestions are annoying, but can easily ignore and insist on my search term.

I guess I also mean actually referring to it more as DLang (or something) so people start calling it that. "D" is so hopeless to even use in conversation. Even "Rust" is miles better, and that's not exactly a brilliant name either.

  >"D" is so hopeless to even use in conversation. Not any more hopeless than one of the top-10 most popular languages, C. Except if you mean the juvenile joke it alludes to, in which case, nobody really cares between adults. No company is not gonna be use D because in some memes it means dick. Libraries, tooling, maturity, devs, speed, are the real concerns...

    There's nothing wrong with juvenile jokes; we can be adults without being prudes. The only issue with D is the well runs dry pretty quick.

  Yeah, you don't want to know how many times I have said "I work with the D Programming Language" and people are like "are you a psychologist like deprogramming brainwashed people?" Though I usually just shoot back "no computers. code people just suck at names"
