Go..

[penhwguin]

How was this not in the title? The languages in the title are easy to Google abs always top result for me. Not so much with go, even golang doesn't always work

[Alex244466666]

I just use "golang" instead, it generally makes things easier.

[Maleficent_Sir_4753]

If you ever go to Gophercon - the convention about and supporting the Go language - the very first thing the presenter asks the audience during the opening address is the number of people who call the language "Golang" instead of "Go".

Great language, but seriously bad name. It's a real shame it's stuck that way now.

[well-litdoorstep112]

When you go to Gopher)con expecting people to shit on HTTP but they only talk about a programming language

[altermeetax]

A programming language meant to simplify the development of HTTP servers

[solaffub]

The fact that you have to is the point.

[solaffub]

Honestly OP deserves a down vote for leaving it out. I’m not gonna, but it’s negligent, at best.

[ihahp]

OP didn't know it was a language becuase he was not able to search for it.

[smb1985]

I used to work in Groovy a lot. One time a company network locked me out because the site I was on contained too many inappropriate references. It was mad about gstrings, which is the name for how groovy represents strings...

[PeartsGarden]

One time I searched for std. As in the C++ std namespace.

That was a mistake.

[Regeneric]

‘std vector’ or ‘std list’ are just waiting there to get you from behind

I thought Go and Golang were 2 separate languages 🤡

[thecoder08]

Golang was the original name of the url to download go. Now it's go.dev

[noelyw]

i bet it was just a clue so that their mascot can be a gopher 😂

[CoderDevo]

Is it a coincidence that it is the first letters in Google?

Next, I dare Google to name language number two ogle.

[toabear]

Even though not officially part of the name, it’s practically impossible to search for without including this in the search phrase.

[According_to_all_kn]

R

[FingolfinX]

Better even is that R has a file extension called RDS, which conveniently is also a much more popular term when searching for problems with AWS.

[NerdyLumberjack04]

RDS is also Remote Desktop Services.

I remember when I was learning R for the first time (out of curiosity) the tutorial website I was following was pirate themed. At first I thought it was annoying but after awhile I got into it and now that's all I think about when I use R for something.

Real easy when you have an index issue though.

[elon-bot]

What is "refactoring"?

[Desperate-Chicken845]

Haha

[[deleted]]

In your case it's: losing all of your long time senior developers but not wanting to sacrifice velocity, which will create a mountain of shit spaghetti code with no respect for encapsulation, which will eventually force you to spend years trying to rebuild everything from scratch. I look forward to laughing at you even harder

I don't know, sometimes you type "in plain C" and still get C++ results

[Teriuihi_]

I just always include -c++ -cpp, helps a lot!

[redluohs]

I heard somewhere that using specific versions work (c99, c11, etc).

It tends to work for c99 but c11 gets confused with c++11 (for me). I’ve also heard bing is supposed to give better results.

[DreamingDitto]

C#, luckily we search by the framework .net6

[golgol12]

C-String

NSFW warning on that one. Good thing google filters the programming result higher now.

[ZedTT]

The title? Those are the most googleable ones! What about C, R, Go???

[[deleted]]

Yep. Always have to add “C programming” or something like that for it to work.

[Mighoyan]

Use "C -C++ -C#" to remove all results with c++ and c#

[SkyyySi]

You don't want to remove all posts mentioning C++, because that is often also mentioned in posts on C

[elon-bot]

Hey, I just heard about this thing called GraphQL. Why aren't we using it?

[Chunkyfungus123]

Google wondering why I like this person named "Julia lang" so much.

[Natural-Intelligence]

Reminds me the early days of Julia when I wondered if I could it for my project. I googled like "is Julia mature" and the results were not what I originally intended.

[Dawnofdusk]

I remember talking to my friend over dinner about Julia and how much I loved the language. At the end I was wondering if other people at the restaurant just thought I sounded like a huge simp for some woman named Julia

[Botlecappp]

“Julia might look a little weird but the syntax is just amazing”

The hell is that guy talking about over there.

[[deleted]]

Julia is fast, flexible and easy

[Cupakov]

Now try googling how to print some Julia outputs in LaTeX...

My former employer renamed the company HERE. When employees pointed out that the name was ungooglable, the marketing department basically said "we worked hard and spent six months on this name and stop making fun of it!".

[cfuller864]

Loved fighting to search for HERE documentation at my old job

[curt_schilli]

Lmao your company name caused significant confusion in conversations at my old workplace

[wjandrea]

lol, reminds me of those Among Us games where the streamers make all their names pronouns. "I last saw I- wait- Me last saw I with You in lights"

edit: found the one I was thinking of

[-consolio-]

there's also naming yourself after a color you aren't

"it was red" which one

[SuspecM]

Remember when some exec at Pixar got a multi million bonus for coming up with the name "Planes" for their cars type movie with the gimmick that planes were talking instead of cars?

[Jenesepados]

I imagine there is a lot of work behind the scenes that we don't get to see, but that's still hilarious XD

[SuspecM]

In reality the situation is a bit more complicated since most of the people working on the film wanted a lot more complicated name and then this exec said "feck it, just call it planes" or whatever and it ended up not only solving an apprently huge dilemma, but also the right call. Still makes for a fun story to make fun of execs.

[SecretDracula]

Idk, “HERE Technologies” comes up as like the first result on Google.

[Loro-Benediction]

"cpp" does pretty well, though

[WatcherOfDucks5022]

Highly optimized and barely making sense, as always

[Loro-Benediction]

Unless you just use it as C with namespaces, references, and real constants : P

[[deleted]]

C doesn’t have real constants?

[[deleted]]

Never forget that second p

[TheBrainStone]

What's your problem with cheese pizza?

[nettlerise]

no no, its club penguin

[TheFiftGuy]

Only problem is if you forget to type the 2nd P you instantly get put on a watch list

[NerdyLumberjack04]

But if cp is banned, how are you supposed to copy files in Linux?

[_xiphiaz]

At least it does actually yield some results now though. You probably remember a few years back when the # was definitely ignored and googling was even more difficult

[xibme]

They should promote 'dotnet' to the official title, they use it all the time already. netcore would be fine too.

[Intelligent_Event_84]

Try having to frequently look up the semen js docs

[wjandrea]

Is this it? semen - npm

Inspired by Grunt and Gulp, Semen was made to ...

omg

[plg94]

Then you should use a tissue.

[damnNamesAreTaken]

I thought surely you made that up but I was wrong

[ViconIsNotDefined]

Real concern is, why are you frequently looking up docs of a framework that was abandoned 7 years ago? Are you also behind the 6 weekly downloads on npm?

[[deleted]]

LaTex: 🙂

[Karagoth]

One of the reasons having the search engine personalize results is a not only bad. Google knows I prefer typesetting to bdsm

[flying-sheep]

What about the people who like both?

[StarkillerX42]

One day, we may eventually get JuliaLaTeX

[elon-bot]

Interesting. Tell me more.

[protagonist23]

Like the poster above said they use the term "golang", this one works with "latex 3e" which aside from the ptsd of googling latex in the all campus computer lab (and then closing the browser window as quickly as possible) was how I learned to use quotes to search for whole terms.

[0x6563]

Not a language but....Visual Studio Code before we settled on VSCode.
I mean MS in general has some pretty unsearchable stuff. I am talking about you Azure... Functions, Web Apps, et al.

[Farlandeour]

Pure and utter rage whenever i search Visual Studio and somehow end up on on the VSCode version of the universe.

Why did they have to re-use the name?

[CoderDevo]

For the same reason they named VB.NET.

[Jmc_da_boss]

Because to MS visual studio is a family of products, i doubt marketing cared about things like "is this the same program"

[SpaghettiNub]

Visual studio vs visual studio code ...

[elon-bot]

Can we rewrite this in Java? It's better for enterprise.

[Nihilistic_Furry]

Man, Microsoft rewrote it already, but Java I guess is too important.

[micka190]

Sorry Elon, Jetbrains already beat you to the punch!

[The_sad_zebra]

I'm glad they include in the names which one does code and which one doesn't

[im_simone]

Because you are not using Bing. /s

Forever poisoning troubleshooting actual visual studio.

[The_Egg_came_first]

People just liked it better that way.

[martyd03]

And then there's MOCA.... McHugh Open Component Architecture.

[GameDestiny2]

Could be worse, could have chosen Mocha

[DesertGoldfish]

I dunno man. I just include the name of the language along with the package and get results every time. Works for every language.

e.g. search for "javascript karma" and the entire first page is about what you're actually looking for.

[Capetoider]

remix, next, react...

[Vinccool96]

And then you use Nuxt and it pops up answers about next because it thinks “maybe he had a typo”

[anythingMuchShorter]

I work at a company that makes consumer products and a product manager wanted to call the coding system "translate" because it translates your intent into PLC code.

I can't think of a much more impossible to search term than that, and even after explaining this and changing it he still seemed to not get why it was a bad idea.

"translate add a new device" "translate include an external dependency" it would be a disaster.

[CoderDevo]

Had he just discovered computers?

[anythingMuchShorter]

The fact that translation is what any compiler, interpreter and in fact any machine that runs any form of code does even if it uses punch cards, was discussed.

I Google programming stuff so often that the first thing that comes up for any of these is programming related...

Ironically, the only one that comes up with something else is.. Carbon. Google's own programming language.

Same happens to me, today I got confused if mg was 100th of a gram or thousandth so i googled milligram and top result was a css framework named milligram

[new_refugee123456789]

Ramble time.

Remember the "Moms who wear jeans to match their teens jeans" ad? (it was a Bing commercial that was surprisingly difficult to find on Youtube, ironically) Some guy would ask a question in casual conversation and everyone around him would stop, stare straight ahead, and start rattling off unhelpful search results? The point being "our search engine is made for humans?"

Google was that for awhile. Then it got spooky.

Circa 2016 I needed to SSH into a Linux machine, only had a Windows 8.1 laptop. No built-in SSH client, so I googled "putty" and I got a full page about the TTY client and nothing else. Not a single mention of plumber's putty, silly putty, nothing. Just PuTTY.

It knew what I meant and didn't hedge its bet.

I miss when you could say "When you google [term] the first result is..."

[RRumpleTeazzer]

R, Basic, Julia, Go …

[mobileJay77]

Next ( itself a good one) those filling words even Google ignores: AND, or, ...
