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.
Delighted to see that Typescript 7 is moving to conventional LSP for its IDE services!

I've heard of 'blub languages', where you don't realise that other languages have better abstractions until you've experienced them.
I think the same thing happens with individual features. I've seen several C++ folks miss variadic generics in Rust, but I've not written enough C++ to feel it.
