The language is called "Go", not "GoLang". Just pointing this out, not because I'm trying to be smart or anything -- it just irks me to read "GoLang".

You get into the habit of calling it golang because googling for "go" issues isn't very useful. Golang is the nickname that is (or at least was last time I did something in go) what the community tends to use for SO and blog posts. Its sort of become the language's unofficial name.

Its really frustrating that a search engine company would use such an unsearchable name for a new product.

As a tag in the tag section, not as a name in prose.

I'm sorry, it's become a habit, because if I used Go here instead of GoLang, someone else googling for articles/forum posts may not come across this thread. It is in good essence that I always make sure to use GoLang instead of Go.

Practically everywhere I've seen it's called Golang since Go is so hard to search for on Google.

So, do you think that posters here should refer to it as "Golang" in order to boost search results for that term?

You forgot the #firstworldproblems hashtag.
