Naming a language hack ... very poor choice. Searching for Go, C, C++ is already bad, now you can add hack to the list.

Hacklang. There, just like go, problem solved.
That would only solve the problem if everyone referred to it as "Hacklang", which will surely not be the case.
just gone though the slides of a Hack Talk (https://raw.github.com/strangeloop/StrangeLoop2013/master/sl...)

appending "-lang" certainly gives you better results but still does not find you a lot of un-tagged good blog posts

I'm not sure what to think of the language (other than the fact that it looks very similar to Typescript); but, as for your comment, suffix the word lang and you're golden : golang, dartlang, hacklang.
I know, i went to look for info on "facebook hack" because we want to use it in work.

You can imagine what came up!
