The TamaGo logo is the Golang Gopher in an egg. Tamago (卵) means egg in Japanese. I'm guessing this was intentional :)

  Yup, probably a reference to the Tamagotchi. For the younger readers out there: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamagotchi

    No, that's a separate coinage. "Tamagotchi" is a portmanteau of "tamago" (egg) and "uotchi" (watch).

      This is why I love hacker news.

  Now I feel old for thinking Tamagotchi was common knowledge.

  Random trivia: "tamago" can also be written as 玉子, which means something like "round child". 卵 is used for any kind of egg, 玉子 mostly for cooked chicken eggs.
