Is the language called Go or Golang?</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The language is called Go.
|
||||
The "golang" moniker arose because the web site is
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org">golang.org</a>, not
|
||||
go.org, which was not available to us.
|
||||
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.

||||

|
||||
A side note: Although the
|
||||
<a href="https://blog.golang.org/go-brand">official logo</a>
|
||||
has two capital letters, the language name is written Go, not GO.
