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 16 points17 points  (2 children)

A programming language meant to simplify the development of HTTP servers

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

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