Then Java, Chrome, Ruby, Rails, Bash, Curl, Python, Apache, Lynx, Scheme, Unity and dozens of other project names must infuriate you :).

Mostly it's an annoyance at trying to find relevant web pages on the topic. In that regard the more prolific the software the more it can get away with a common word as a name.

"Go" is the worst of the bunch by far. "Dart" is pretty bad, "Java", "Chrome" and "Python" would be just as bad but they have swarmed the search results so much that it doesn't bug me.

I find that using the search terms "go language" (without the quotes) works a lot better--at least for any conflationary n-gram based search engine, like Google. Just think of it as a type annotation :)

No to mention "C", the worst of all.
