Go is a worthless search term, so golang has become the defacto name - and it's better for it.

It's pronounced "Go" and written "Go" in prose.

It's searched as "Golang" and thus written as "Golang" in places necessary to make search work (titles, keywords, ....)

Not all that different from the various fucked up ways English spelling works

> The language is called Go. The "golang" moniker arose because the web site was originally golang.org. (There was no .dev domain then.) 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.

Ahem.. This seems to have changed but the language was originally released under a website with the domain golang.org

When the main debate is over what the language is called, it's a sure sign the actual tech is shit.

You must be fun at parties.
