I was following the mailing list as this was being developed way back then, but it always frustrated me that the team chose such a trite, un-googleable name for the language. I mean, if you want to find the community and the docs, you have to search for 'golang' which let me tell you, was not an automatic solution to the problem. That's actually my only complaint.
100% agreed. In addition to this, due to some people not capitalizing the first letter of Go, distinguishing between the verb go and the noun go takes more time than usual when reading articles related to Go. Maybe to native speakers it doesn't matter?
I think the comment's point would be that when C came out there were no search engines, so nobody would've considered that. When Go came out, not only were search engines a critical everyday software, the Go language designers worked for a company whose original and flagship product is a search engine, so they should've known.
(I also think the same criticism could be directed to other languages that are English words such as Swift, Rust, etc. but to a lesser extent)
