It's very hard to find resources and articles about go, most articles that appear on
Google search results are irrelevant to the Go Programming Language.

Comment 3:

Not sure if serious but:
a) Try searching for "golang" or "go programming"
b) If you're logged in to Google when searching eventually it smartens up to your
preference and even searching for just "go" and other programming-related search terms
will turn up relevant results.

Comment 4:

It's very hard for a search engine to know, when you search for 'apple', if you mean
food or a company. The problem is not in the name (of the language). The problem is in
expecting the search engine to be mind-reading.
Use `go programming language foo` to find 'foo' for the Go programming language.
Alternatively the search term 'golang' seems to work fine too.
