Go was made in China over 2500 years ago at which point it was called yì (弈). Then some guy had to name his programming language Go and make "Go programming" hard to search for.

That's why you search for "Golang" instead.

Search for "golang".

  What if you want to search algorithms related to the game?
  - kid0m4n 11y ago
    LMGTFY "go game algorithm"

    It's also called baduk and weiqi, both should give good results

  I'm searching for techniques to make my Go bot stronger, not for the language
  - ticviking 11y ago
    I've found the baduk is the new preffered search term for the game.

      'Weiqi' actually works okay too. Or, honestly, just use the character/kanji: 围棋 / 囲碁

  also: search for "hacker news"

That's the Japanese name. You are thinking about Weiqi.
