ThoughtWorks first released the commercial product that would become Go in 2008. It was rebranded later, shortly after the public announcement of Golang. Yes, it was a confusing move, but at the time there was no reason to believe that a programming language might conflict with a continuous delivery tool. Golang has produced a large and robust community, so of course it's confusing now. But it didn't come out of nowhere.
