Damn game, because of it we are forced to use "golang" in search engines.

Right, because "go" doesn't occur outside of the context of the game or the language...

Darn those who call their languages something ungoogleable by itself (yes R I'm talking about you)

Anything bigger than 2 letters and having a name that's not a (very) common word should be fine.

the golang alias works pretty well, but until you learn this trick it's annoying as hell.

Go has been around for thousands of years--- Golang will be dead and gone soon enough (in a decade or two?) and we won't have that nasty keyword collision.

However, english-speaking go players are adapting to this problem. Go is the japanese name for the game--- and we're starting to google for "baduk", the korean name for the game, instead.

Go has beat the go lang for a few thousand years. Blame google.
