How much pushback/confusion do you get on the naming of this, given that Golang seems to have taken over all the other go<add stuff here> names?

Surprisingly little. Though for a small time the Go releases were almost the same version numbers as GoJS so I'd have a mini heart attack when go-lang made HN frontpage.

(for us, Go stands for Graph Object)

In that case you should rename the project GObjectJS to avoid further confusion :-)
I used to think gevent was a Google made library about event handling. Turn out the g stands for greenlet.

I agree gojs is confusing as it seems to be "go-lang implementation in javascript" but I believe no one can claim the ownership over the word "go", as it's an normal English word as well...
