Perhaps blog posters on the Go language need to refer to it as Golang in titles, etc.



Why? The name of the language is "Go" and not "Golang". "Golang" is a search engine hack.


Clarity has value. "Golang" in the title provides more information to the reader at no cost.

Why not use "Golang"?


> "Golang" is a search engine hack

Although "Go" is the name of the language, "Golang" can also be a submission title hack so as not to confuse those who "Expected to see an article about the development of modern Go the board game theory".
