It's hard to stay good in a corrupt world.

I'm surprised they didn't call it Google Object Orientated Generic Language Environment, or Google for short :P

That's why we have trademarks: so this kind of thing doesn't happen. Now McCabe will probably receive a letter from *Google* telling him that *his* language is diluting Google's trademark.

I'm going to side with "be more useful" rather than "do no evil" on this one and say that Google should just keep the name. Hell, there are so many esoteric programs and programming languages academics write up to fill their list of published research papers, with all kinds of idiotic acronyms and backronyms, that Google would probably step on *somebody's* toes with any decent name they choose.

Anyway, his language is "Go!" (note the exclamation point), not "Go" so all is right in the world.

Viridium,

While that may be true, a good patent and trademark lawyer knows that one must research prior use, not just check for registrations.

Jamie, Google probably did the smart thing and checked for trademark registrations.

So, the owners of the biggest, bestest search engine on the planet don't use their own technology to google something first? Lol....
