I have already used the name for *MY* programming language

by fmccabe:

I have been working on a programming language, also called Go, for the last 10 years.
There have 
been papers published on this and I have a book.

I would appreciate it if google changed the name of this language; as I do not want to
have to 
change my language!

I think Mr McCabe's language is called "Go!". Here's the Lulu link:

Comment 4 by niral.n95:

reidellis: is right! its "Lets Go!" or "Go!". This is google "go", "The Go 
Programming Language" Bigg Difference.. :)
P.s. Anyone hearing the release of Google "go" would have picked up their book that 
never sold and started finding the work "GO" and as they would find their 1st "GO" 
they wil go , Eureka! :)

Comment 5 by fmccabe:

My language is called Go!. The book is called Let's Go!. 
The issue is not whether or not Google's go will be well known. It is one of fairness.

I don't know about the IDE, but I just tested and google search engine sure can't.

Comment 9 by spronkey:

Indeed they should. Full support for you, Mr. McCabe. It's not that hard to find 
references to your language online either - it was on the first page of Bing, second 
of Google for 'go programming language'.
In fact, the title of the Google go tutorial page is even "Let's Go".
It would be pretty poor for you folks Google to keep this name given your "do no 
evil" slogan!

Google should totally change the name, fmccabe you should find a (cheap) lawyer just
in case...
Google has deep pockets.

Google, here is yet another tick along the wood block: are you a giant corporation or a
collection of geeks. If the 
former, ignore fmccab and be grouped with MS and every other conglomerate, if the
latter, change the name of 
this language to something new.
