This is typical Google/DeepMind ignorance. The rest of the world is non-exist.

  Ignorance, or arrogance? I find it hard to believe that devs at the caliber Google employs are ignorant of existing software, especially when it's in the same (or related) domain.

  I believe it started with Golang, where Go was already an existing language by a hobbyist - granted nobody was using it kinda lame to steal his name.

    Go was taken by ancient China before that.

      maybe the game itself but the name is derived from Japanese, fairly recently

    While I agree with the other two, I remember when Golang came out and no one except the author of the other Go language had ever heard of it.
