when you're looking for docs on go do you google just "go"?
edit: fine, it's called catalá in catalonian itself - this is so pedantic now that i might as well at this point say that the missing diacritic is sufficient to disambiguate.
- pvaldes 3y agoCatalá is the name of the language in Catalan, is totally equivalent to saying "English" if you are a native. This is obviously a not innocent choice. At this level I don't believe in coincidences and CatalaLang makes it even more obvious. This looks like a veeeery obvious psy-op, or a independentist version of the old embrace, extend, extinguish. My bet is that as they can't stomach the basic legal concepts, they will try silently replace it by the new "updated" meaning of those concepts.
- feliixh 3y agoDef a psyop. Classic Catalonian move of seizing independence by writing self determination laws in code and carefully introducing a bug that they can then exploit to secede.
- dial9-1 3y agoit's catalá in catalá
- slazaro 3y agoIt's actually "català" not "catalá". Source: I'm català.
- mkl95 3y ago> when you're looking for docs on go do you google just "go"? Golang will do the trick. Catala lang will not unless the language becomes massively popular.

- lolinder 3y ago> when you're looking for docs on go do you google just "go"? I wouldn't use Go as a good example of naming a language. It worked out because the language had the weight of Google behind it, but it's still awkward that you have to use a different name when searching for things than you do at other times.
- mathisfun123 3y ago> I wouldn't use Go as a good example of naming a language. It worked out because the language had the weight of Google behind it this is called the no true scotsman fallacy - "I'm still right in XYZ case because XYZ isn't a real instance of ABC (the thing I'm making a claim about)"
- lolinder 3y agoNo, it's not, because I didn't make a universal claim about anything. A No True Scotsman fallacy must follow a overly-broad No Scotsman statement. All I said is that Go, specifically, is an awkward name that probably shouldn't be used to justify further awkward names.
