Searching "site:news.ycombinator.com go" on Google didn't yield any results that weren't about the Go programming language even after going several pages deep. What kind of search problems are you having, exactly?

And why is it unique to Go? I am sure there are comments on HN about metal oxidization, making sharp changes in direction, Norse gods, and letters of the alphabet.

But if you go to the search box at the bottom of the HN page and type in 'go' the first hit is "Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free," In the top 10 results, only _two_ are about Go, the language.

Whereas the first 50 golang hits are all about the language.

You might have your preferred approach, but there are good reasons for using golang.

Such as? If you type in 'C' into HN's search box, the first result is about the F.C.C., followed by C.E.O., then USB-C. Even once we finally see one about a programming language, it is about C#.

If the earlier list was instead 'Clangclang, Golang, Odinlang and Ziglang' then I could maybe understand where you are coming from, but that is not what we saw. Clearly there was no effort put into aiding searchers universally.

Are you trying to suggest that Go is the only language worth reading about? Let me try to restate the earlier question in your tongue: Why is it unique to 'golang'?
