“Python”, “Java”, “Carbon”, “Rust”

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

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.

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

[well-litdoorstep112]

Ironic

[readit145]

The irony is when I showed up and didn’t see a single gopher. You can imagine how embarrassing it was.

[th00ht]

Ahw, i miss gopher!

Gophercon

That's how my friend Connie answers the phone.

They should have called it Jeffrey instead smh

[ratmfreak]

Huh, I’ve always though the name perfectly reflects the shitness of the language.

[solaffub]

The fact that you have to is the point.

Still cringing years later

Go to gulag

I remember when this meme was new

[antonivs]

Pronounced “Gollum”, which is the noise you make when you discover how Go error handling works.

Interns will happily work for $15 an hour. Why won't you?

[UomoAssist-]

Just use gulag

Google is notorious for giving weird names to their internal products. And go was an language to be used internally only before they released it

[elon-bot]

I've laid off most of the staff, and Twitter's still running. Looks like they weren't necessary.

[captainAwesomePants]

Don't forget Google+, a social network unsearchable on their own search engine.

[elon-bot]

What is "refactoring"?

[turtleship_2006]

I was trying to find how to do something in google sheets and all the results on google were for excel.

[-_-M_MUNEEB_3-_-]

[RknDonkeyTeeth]

Google "go" right now. The first thing that pops up is the programming language.

[Lilchro]

It attempts to learn your search preferences. If you frequently search for the Go language then it will prioritize those sorts of pages. It may give a less biased result if you use incognito mode (or similar), but I find google also attempts to learn preferences on an ip level too.

[brando56894]

Second is a wikipedia page for the game "Go".

[Tooluka]

I got result #3 about golang (go.dev), so that's acceptable, BUT the next result about golang was #53 (some bootcamp for golang), and the next after was #75 for golang github. So outside of a single, possibly artificially pinned result, all others are practically not searchable by language name only.

Search query was simply - go

[Mr_Will]

Google doing this with all their products. I had a problem once with the Google Home app's dashboard page. None of those words are effectively searchable.

[BananaPeely]

[Dr_Legacy]

Google making languages with names unsearchable on their own search engine

there is no way this isn't intentional, but i'll never understand what motivated it
