Go or Golang: the official answer
-
I just saw this newly released book, Hands-On Software Engineering with Golang: Move beyond basic programming to design and build reliable software with clean code: [^] Are Go and Golang the same thing? I looked it up on wikipedia:
Quote:
Go (incorrectly known as Golang,[14]) is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed at Google[15] by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson.[12] Go is syntactically similar to C, but with memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing,[6] and CSP-style concurrency.[16]
So I checked out the reference from the official Go site and look:
official site says:
Is the language called Go or Golang? The language is called Go. The "golang" moniker arose because the web site is golang.org, not go.org, which was not available to us. Many use the golang name, though, and it is handy as a label. For instance, the Twitter tag for the language is "#golang". The language's name is just plain Go, regardless.
I'm glad we straightened this little issue up. :rolleyes:

This will make a huge difference to my lifestyle. I do feel compelled, though, to comment that if the idiots who gave it such a fruggin' stupid name were to have named it better, there wouldn't be any need for them to get pathetically snooty about it. Maybe I'm getting jaded, but I'm not feeling any surprise that the company that declares itself to be the world's greatest expert in Internet search doesn't have a clue how to give their products names that are searchable. They might as well have called it "the" or "I".

Actually, if I Google "Go", the first two results are "The Go Programming Language" and "Downloads - The Go Programming Language". The world's greatest experts in Internet search make sure it's searchable :rolleyes: With Bing and DuckDuckGo it's a little further down, but still on the first page. Of course those results are all custom made to my profile and I'm a programmer.

In any case, I prefer Google's follow-up - Ogle (or should that be Oglelang?).

I never noticed. But i'm aloof about things I don't notice. :)

I felt the same way. Of course, since C has been around a long time I give them a pass. I was just genuinely confused about the name because I see stuff about Go and then rarely see this Golang thing. I wasn't sure if it was a script based upon Go or something. You know? Like JavaScript...based upon Java. :rolleyes: I know it's not!!! :laugh: Please do not call or send letters. I know Java And JavaScript are as related as Ham and Hamburgers. :)
