Google closes Issue 9

Google's response to this makes me want to create a pornography search engine called "Go Ogle!" and respond to the inevitable cease-and-desist letters with "the naming similarity is unfortunate, but I don't expect it will cause more than minimal confusion".

The book is on Lulu [1] and there is an Information Week article [2] on the issue. I would be pretty ticked if Google (a web search company) stomped on my work. It just seems like a really cruddy thing to do. It's in the logic / agent group of languages and I have run across the article a couple of times but it is my no means famous. It is not like Google's Go is super well known either, so picking a new name that could be googled would probably be the kind thing to do.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/lets-go/705004" rel="nofollow">http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/lets-go/705004</a><p>[2] <a href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/web_services/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=221601351" rel="nofollow">http://www.informationweek.com/news/software/web_services/sh...</a>

It would've been interesting if they had renamed the language, "Issue 9".<p>I think Google missed an opportunity to gain a little developer goodwill here, but I don't think it will hurt them in the long run. (Assuming Go ever becomes a popular language)

I do feel for the guy, but if I'm being honest and practical, it will be less trouble for him to change the name of his obscure and almost unused language than it would be for Google to rename Go.<p>It would have been nice if Google had avoided the name conflict, but unfortunately there's no central programming language registry and he had done nothing to make his language easily discovered (to the point where it didn't even have a website), so it seems likely that Google chose the same name in complete innocence — at the worst, it seems like they might have thought it was a toy name for a toy language used simply for explanatory purposes, not something anyone cared about.<p>Essentially, once the name was already associated in people's minds with Google, the horses were out of the barn. He chose to get concerned about Go!'s presence in the public consciousness far too late.

What some people are missing is that before Google's Go, the Go! language was so obscure that even googling for "go" would not have found it. In fact, the second comment (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=9&#38;cnum=500&#38;cstart=33#c2" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=9&#38;cnum=500&...</a>) on the issue, by the Go! designer himself, suggests that to find its page you should google for his name, not for "go" or "go programming language".

Before people get carried away with stories about how the big guy is crushing the little guy, keep in mind that there are at least 4 different programming languages named D, and this doesn't seem to have killed any of those projects. Name collisions are inevitable when everyone picks names that are around 1-4 characters.

This is what not being evil looks like. Imagine the howls if Microsoft had steamrollered over a small developer who'd spent 10 years working on M#.

I wish Google would have come up with a new name, and I feel bad for this guy, but it's just way too common a name to figure you'll have it all to yourself. I'd feel the same way if the language was called "Do" or "Run".

Did anyone <i>really</i> think Google was going to respond in any other way? I read Issue 9 when it came out along with some of the comments on it. I knew then Google would just close the ticket and do nothing.

I quite liked the comment suggesting Google rename their language to the eligibly employable moniker "i9".

On the one-hand I feel for the developer who originally named his language "Go." On the other hand I've never heard of it... Who does HN think is right in this case and why?

The guy should rename _his_ language to issue 9 and he will get the good will and publicity :).

Seems like an instance of the well-known "Michael Bolton Problem" from Office Space. You had a name, you were using it, but something significantly more notable comes along with the same name. They didn't steal your name, but by virtue of being much more popular, now nobody thinks of you when they hear your name, they think of the other thing that you have no association with and came after you. There's no theft, just an annoyance for you. You were probably never going to be famous, but now it is much harder. On the ironic upside, people who didn't care about you before now remember you, because of the naming conflict.

The original bug submitter's language, originally called Go, is now called Go!: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!_(programming_language)</a>

He could still use the name "go-bang" or something like that which is even arguably better googlable. However, google response makes me sad too.

The Go logo looks like a potato with feet.

No one really confused the two and I don't see how having similar names would hurt any of them.<p>Also it's not even the same name: 'Go' vs 'Go!'<p>It is "unfortunate", carry on.

Both will be irrelevant soon enough anyway.
