I hear people say that Go is often hard to search online (hence sometimes "Golang"), but the vast majority of language names are common words. Names with punctuation (C++, C#) are hard too. Is this a big problem in practice? "Perl" isn't a dictionary word, but it's an exception.

I'm experimenting with Hammerspoon on macOS as an application switcher. `Option-Space F` is Firefox, `Option-Space E` is Emacs, etc. The problem with `Alt-Tab` is that the order changes based on recency. I'm hoping that a repeatable command will be nicer to use.

Today I learnt that Emacs 28 shipped a context-menu-mode! https://oylenshpeegul.gitlab.io/blog/posts/20230129/ This seems quintessentially Emacs: deeply hackable, but building UI features in an order very different to the mainstream.
