I remember having trouble googling for examples of Nice and Clean code back when I was interested in those languages, because even adding "programming" and similar to the mix wasn't really helpful. but that was also a while ago, google has gotten better at contextual keywords since.

Both get language pages on the first hit past the ads.

yes, but (a) that is now; the languages themselves had their heyday when search engines were a lot less good, and (b) it wasn't finding the language homepage itself that was hard, it was finding third party pages with code examples, blog posts etc.

As far as I can tell the complaint is being made now, not 10 years ago. But maybe I'm wrong and actually I've woken up in the past - please let me know if that's the case.
