- serial_dev 4y agoI've been a Dart developer for three years and had zero issues finding anything Dart related. I also had to write some Go, that was actually pretty bad in terms of searchability.
- nathanlied 4y agoFor me it has helped to write it as "golang"; usually Google seems to understand what I want and show me relevant results.
- labrador 4y agoNow, but in the early days a Dart search was likely to bring up info about the Irish transportation system https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/about-us/iarnrod-eireann-services/dart-commuter https://www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/about-us/iarnrod-eireann-serv...
- Cyberdog 4y agoSwift was annoying in the early days since searches would bring up info on the international payment system. Lua and PHP have nice searchability. At least, it's fairly easy to weed out results on the Portuguese moon and the Philippine peso.
- dhosek 4y agoI remember trying to Lycos/Altavista/Yahoo info on C or C++ back in the 90s. Perl also ended up being a challenge because a lot of results would be things like http://example.com/cgi-bin/perl/irrelevant-result http://example.com/cgi-bin/perl/irrelevant-result.
