The name of the language is Go. Calling it Golang is like recruiting for a Perl shop and calling it PERL, or Pearl.

I believe that the ongoing confusion is partially caused by Go’s own website, golang.org, and partially by the fear of not being found by search engines when referring to Go as just “Go”.

I wonder whether Rust (rust-lang.org), Pony (ponylang.org), and others have the same problem or whether this is a Go specialty.

yep, usually recruiters don’t have too much technical knowledge. anyway some people prefer to use golang in some circumstances instead go because go word can be confusing and many people don’t understand that is a programming language. if you want is the same situation like using (wrong) the word Linux refering a Linux based distribution because many people didn’t heard about Ubuntu for example.
:slight_smile:

Actually, it’s pronounced GNU/Linux
