Perl 6 may be moving to a C vs C++ distinction with Perl 5: similar languages, but not the same.

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've release difftastic 0.56! In this release:
* Added support for Scheme and Smali
* Improved JS, TypeScript, QML and Perl parsers
* File permission changes are now reported
Which programming languages are the easiest/hardest to google?
Go (a common word) and Rust (also a computer game) can both be tricky. Yet I've not seen 'rubylang' used to help Ruby searches.
Perhaps a novel word (Kotlin) or a misspelling (Perl) is a better choice for new languages?
