It's mind boggling that a programming language from Google would be given a completely unsearchable moniker.

- georgemcbay 14y agoActually just always using "golang" works extremely well. Unfortunately this probably hurts the "brand", I think, because I find myself calling it "golang" sometimes even when I'm talking about it aloud to someone else.
- vorg 14y agoI suspect they intentionally dual-branded it, officially calling it "Go" but hosting it at golang.org, giving the contrast to Erlang's name. They might want the option to trademark it in the future, so couldn't use "Go", just as Coca Cola couldn't trademark "Coke" because it was a common word.
