I have to say, I much prefer people referring to it as Golang, otherwise it is impossible to search for.

this is honestly the most annoying thing about go for me. Really hard to do a quick google search for an answer to something!
I'm endlessly amused by the irony of a search engine company naming their projects unsearchable words. Many site search engines won't even consider terms less than three characters long.
Try "Django" with that new "Django Unchained" movie ;-)
For all these language issues, I generally preface the query with the language name. "Python3 Django", "Haskell Quickcheck", "C++ Boost", etc. It makes things so much easier for the search engine to give me Good Results (tm) when it has that extra bit of context.
