Hi,
when doing a command line package search for "go" it returns many
unrelated packages, such as
extra/evolution-bogofilter 3.48.3-1
Spam filtering for Evolution, using Bogofilter
so there is a point in using "golang". OTOH, when I look at the naming
scheme of the Go packages installed on my computer, I get a crisis:
extra/golang-golang-x-crypto 0.0.20220830-1
Go supplementary cryptography libraries
extra/golang-golang-x-net 0.0.20220826-1
Supplementary Go networking libraries
extra/golang-golang-x-sys 0.0.20230208-1
Go packages for low-level interaction with the operating system
extra/golang-golang-x-term 0.0.20220722-1
Go terminal and console support
extra/golang-golang-x-text 0.3.3-2
Go text processing support
extra/golang-golang-x-tools 0.0.20191225-2
Various packages and tools that support the Go programming language
What the ...? "golang-golang"?
"The name ylang-ylang is the Spanish spelling of the Tagalog term for
the tree, ilang-ilang - a reduplicative form of the word ilang, meaning
"wilderness", alluding to the tree's natural habitat. A common
mistranslation is "flower of flowers"." -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cananga_odorata
However, "golang-golang" sounds like a Chinese philosophical concept,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang .
Given that "Go" is for "Go"ogle_language, my (mis)interpretation is,
that the name scheme "golang-golang" does hide Google's company
philosophy behind a faked pseudo-Asian term.

Ralf
