I guess Go is doing well enough sharing a name with an ancient board game, and the two languages are occasionally compared, so it's a bit fitting that way.

  When googling for go language related things, you may have a hard time, unless you know to use golang instead of go depending on context. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=go+strategy https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&e... vs https://www.google.com/search?q=golang+strategy&oq=golang+strategy&aqs=chrome..69i57j0j69i64.2675j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=91&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=golang+strategy&oq=golang+st...

    Actually it has never been a case for me. When searching for Go i have never had a problem finding whatever i was looking for. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=go https://duckduckgo.com/?q=go https://www.google.com/search?q=go https://www.google.com/search?q=go

      It's less of an issue now than it was a few years ago. But again context is key. Try "go observer" vs "golang observer". If your go app is having issues with a firewall you might search "go firewall" which seems less relevant than "golang firewall." If you wanted a library that handles "rules" "golang rules library" provides better result than "go rules library." If you know what you're looking for "go" is probably a sufficient search term. If you don't know what you're looking for (and you're not just using google as a bookmark site) "golang" seems to be a better search term.
