To be fair, this will change as go becomes more popular and mature, I don't even know why people keep bringing it up.

Is "C" any more searchable? If C was 3 years old, search results would probably be dominated by pages on the letter "C". I remember search results when C# first came out: most search engines presumed you were talking about musical notes. Java searches kept showing me pages about coffee suppliers and distributors.

None of these languages have this problem anymore because they are mature, and the context around them is firmly established.

The accepted name for the language when doing searches is "golang", and Google does a great job at optimising results around this term. Also there's the IRC channel and Google group if you can't find what you need.

The irc channel is #go-nuts in freenode, in case anyone was wondering.
