- lukeholder 14y agowhat is the name of the language golang or go? erlang or er? Seems like a minor confusion but can be frustrating for the uninitiated.
- heretohelp 14y agoErlang is Erlang. Go is Go, but golang is handy nickname.
- catch23 14y agoSadly golang isn't typically used in common-speak, so stackoverflow/google groups postings rarely turn up in search results when you search for "golang + keyword". I've had to use a combination of "go" and "struct" (and other go keywords) to find what I needed. It would save programmer headache if a more distinct name were chosen.
