Golang.org will be merged into go.dev
- cdstyh 5y agoGoogle should switch to https://google/ https://google/ They already own the .google tld and you don't even need a subdomain. See http://ai/ http://ai/
- koolba 5y agoThat’s the coolest URL I’ve ever seen.
- SevenSigs 5y agohttps should be the default so it could get better
- jazzyjackson 5y agoMeh, not worth the extra roundtrip
- encryptluks2 5y agoI can't get the http://ai/ http://ai/ domain to resolve.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoSame here. > This site can’t be reachedCheck if there is a typo in ai. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
- re 5y agoWorks for me, but you might need to add a period, depending on the specifics of your DNS configuration: http://ai./ http://ai./
- nszceta 5y ago>>> What happened to Vince Cate? <<< If you can get ai to resolve, click on the URL at the bottom of the page which takes you to http://offshore.ai/vince/ http://offshore.ai/vince/
- judge2020 5y agoIIRC some gTLD rule prohibits non-NS records from being applied to root zones like this (ccTLDs not having this requirement obviously). I'll look for it.
- re 5y agoI found some references: * https://features.icann.org/dotless-domains https://features.icann.org/dotless-domains * https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/new-gtld-dotless-domain-names-prohibited-30-8-2013-en https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/new-gtld-dotl...
- msdrigg 5y agoThen whats happening with the domain http://ai/ http://ai/ mentioned in another comment?
- judge2020 5y agoai. is a ccTLD and there are far fewer regulations on them since they're 'owned' and operated by nation state governments. https://icannwiki.org/Country_code_top-level_domain https://icannwiki.org/Country_code_top-level_domain
- Symbiote 5y agoCountry governments. A nation state is not just a fancy way of saying country or state. It means a case where a nation (group of people with a common culture etc) form the vast majority of a country. Japan is a nation state. The USA is not.

- keeperofdakeys 5y agodig +noall +answer A ai ai. 86006 IN A 209.59.119.34 For better or worse the developers of browsers/libraires decided to allow it, it takes extra code to check for it and block it. Now that sites rely on it they can't exactly back track. Another strange one is domains with names that end in hypen - "example-.example.com". These are technically against standards, and don't work on linux/unix based OSs. However they happily work on windows. I've seen a github username that ended in -, which prevented me from viewing their github.io site. (Github seem to no longer allow this).
- paulgb 5y agoIt makes me irrationally happy to see that what must be one of the most sought-after domains resolves to a 90s web aesthetic site promoting beaches and fresh air.
- beaconstudios 5y ago... and the use of said country as a tax haven! Having said that, I do like the website though.
- nacs 5y agoNeither of those URLs work for me (DNS doesn't resolve).
- arthurcolle 5y agouse a better dns resolver
- mastazi 5y agoI don't think it's a dns resolver issue. I'm intentionally using 8.8.8.8 to prove the point (same results with other mainstream services like 1.1.1.1 by the way): ----- $ nslookup google 8.8.8.8 Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Name: google. ------ $ nslookup google. 8.8.8.8 Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Name: google ----- (Edit: formatting).
- BareNakedCoder 5y agoOr use a worse DNS resolver. Your ISP may be trying to cash in on DNS names that don't resolve / ain't found by instead sending you to another website that pays the ISP a small fee.
- zamadatix 5y agohttps://google https://google. isn't supposed to work, for ai try http://ai./ http://ai./ instead.
- spicybright 5y agoSo we're going back to AOL keywords? I'm actually ok with that.
- Operyl 5y agohttp://ai http://ai itself didn’t resolve in mobile safari here, though, so it seems like it’d be a bit broken in some environments.
- judge2020 5y agohttp://ai./ http://ai./
- Operyl 5y agoI tried both already. Neither resolves, thanks though.
- bostondavidvc 5y agoIf you have a few minutes, you could file a bug here: https://webkit.org/reporting-bugs/ https://webkit.org/reporting-bugs/ and potentially get it in front of Safari's networking team.
- justincormack 5y agoIt works in mobile safari for me, so it may be your dns/isp.
- fotta 5y agoresolves for me on iOS 14 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m using NextDNS, if it matters
- Operyl 5y agoI’m on iOS 14 using NextDNS as well. Are you using the iOS app or dependent on setting dns manually?
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- 55555 5y agounfortunately Google doesn't seem to index http://ai/ http://ai/
- BossingAround 5y agoGiven how many people can't resolve http://ai http://ai or http://ai http://ai., there's your answer as to why they shouldn't switch to that.
- amelius 5y agoTyping "google.com" in my url bar is way easier than typing "https://google https://google". And typing just "google" results in a DDG search.
- jfrunyon 5y agoTry `google/` (well, it doesn't actually exist, but at least in Firefox/Chrome you can see that it will treat it as a URL instead of a search)
- tick_tock_tick 5y agoIn other news it seems like google is still soliciting political donations on https://go.dev/ https://go.dev/
- chocolatkey 5y agoFor some reason, it's not visible on mobile devices. I was going to say you're mistaken, but I checked on a pc first.
- IncRnd 5y agoInvestigating this, I saw that the text and link will appear when the width is 768 or greater.
- google234123 5y agoI wonder if the money will help the organizers buy their 5th vacation homes.
- SiVal 5y agoYes, a trillion-dollar megacorporation that is entirely based on managing what information billions of people will and won't see, with unprecedented power to do so that is second only to the Chinese Communist Party and a demonstrated history of harming those who aren't aligned with their agenda wants to remind you that their agenda goes beyond just making good products, beyond increasing their own wealth and power, but aims to change society itself as they choose.
- icy 5y agoFor those like me who preferred godoc.org (as opposed to pkg.go.dev), there's https://godocs.io https://godocs.io, maintained by Drew DeVault. Runs the same backend (gddo) with all the Google-cruft removed.
- shp0ngle 5y agoOh that’s nice. I don’t particularly like the new pkg.go.dev, although it got slightly better lately
- tapirl 5y agoI only see a page with a search box in it. Search my package name, but get nothing.
- scns 5y agoNice. Drew may come off really harsh in discussions, but he does so many things that benefit others. Hm, that reminds of a guy from finland that announced his side project somewhere.
- gunapologist99 5y agoThat was a long time ago, though. Do you pine for those days?
- tomohawk 5y agogo docs without the political pandering!
- aofeisheng 5y agohttps://go.dev/about https://go.dev/about > Go.dev is a companion website to golang.org. Golang.org is the home of the open source project and distribution, while go.dev is the hub for Go users providing centralized and curated resources from across the Go ecosystem. This description doesn't feel so accurate anymore. And the fact is that this move will make the official Go language sites more fragmented and confusing. At least for me.
- mseepgood 5y ago> This description doesn't feel so accurate anymore. Because the merge isn't done yet. > And the fact is that this move will make the official Go language sites more fragmented and confusing. At least for me. There will be only one site again. All of golang.org will redirect to go.dev.
- nothxkthxbye 5y agoAnything to do with drew devault…hard pass!
- mitnk 5y agopkg.go.dev --> go.dev/pkg/ would be better.
- mseepgood 5y agoFor what reason?
- throwawaygo 5y agoI've never understood why we change things on the internet so much. I've got muscle memory after 10 years of navigating the docs. Seriously why did you just decide to remove my workflow?
- theonemind 5y agohttps://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html https://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html
- corobo 5y agoHm yes i agree, testicle in an egg cup (To get past it copy paste the url into a new tab)
- throwawaygo 5y agoLol you think you are enlightened and you are part of the problem.
- pjmlp 5y agoI will miss the world site, oh well.
- bborud 5y agopkg.go.dev is a pretty horrible name. It shouldn't have two dots. It is hard to remember the order of the words initially (I had forgotten after the summer vacation), and you shouldn't use vanity domain names. Short, clear and boring names work best. godoc.org was descriptive, clear, short, and easy to remember. It was totally unnecessary to ditch it. The new name adds no value to the user and complicates something that didn't need complicating.
- mseepgood 5y agoYou can still enter godoc.org, it will redirect automatically.
- obiwanpallav1 5y agoI read somewhere that Go engineering team wanted go.org instead of golang.org but they couldn't get it as it was not for sale. [Can't find the source of this info though] Also, the questions that contained `Golang` in the title and description @ Stackoverflow were edited to contain `Go` instead by the users with edit description being "Name of the language is Go and not Golang". That's when I thought why didn't they use go.co or go.com or any domain name having go instead of golang. I'm not a very inspired Go user but have always loved their simplicity(the language) and carefulness(the way we moved to Go mod) and due to this I've always read their Release notes and blogs with the favorite one being Profiling Go Programs[1]. 1. https://go.dev/blog/pprof https://go.dev/blog/pprof
- CydeWeys 5y agogo.com was an early pre-Web 2.0 company. I guess it was ultimately acquired by Disney or something, but yes, that definitely wasn't and isn't available.
- Tempest1981 5y agoOh, that's right. They even had a search engine, iirc? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go.com
- teddyh 5y agoI guess Google couldn’t live with merely owning the domain name, but had to own the TLD of the domain as well.
- noaheverett 5y agoI like the shorter URL, however googling for “Go” lang stuff has been hit or miss and would need to use “golang” for better results. I wanna say same thing for StackOverflow too but can’t remember…I switched to Crystal so not much Go searching now. Reminds me that I bought gopher.io years ago for a project that never came to be. Figured it would be suited for something Go related…hey Google it’s for sale ;)
- Tempest1981 5y agoCrystal also seems hard to search for. Not crystal reports, right?
- noaheverett 5y agoYou're absolutely right! Have to append "lang" to those searches as well to filter out crystal reports or stuff on Etsy :)
- Seirdy 5y agoWould be nice to use it for a gopher(s)-to-https proxy.
- jdpedrie 5y agoA bit off topic, but one of my pet peeves with the go ecosystem is the extreme difficulty in generating nice documentation for private packages. Has anyone solved this problem and I just missed it?
- tapirl 5y agoI developed https://github.com/go101/golds https://github.com/go101/golds
