Pity they choose "Golang" instead of "Go" for their default Go image. It's called "Go". And they built Docker with Go.



Pity Google choose "Go" instead of "Golang" for their programming language. There were already another "Go!". And they built it from scratch so they could choose whatever name instead of a common English word.


Go isn't very search friendly, Golang is A LOT better for identifying and searching anything related to it.


Yes, and silly Google for making the URL for Go "golang.org". Someone should let them know it's called Go, not golang!

This is like the new "It's GNU/Linux - NOT LINUX!" Except with less validity. It's totally interchangeable in common usage, and in fact much more explicit to use the term "golang".

That's why they know "Go" is very often called "Golang", for search-engine-related reasons.
