As well as the other similarly named programming language: Go! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go!_(programming_language) )

To be honest, I hate the name "Go" even for vocally conversing. It's such a common term that the context is completely lost with verbal communication so I'm often having to explain things in a long winded way. eg "It's programmed in Google's language named 'Go'".

Google probably should have just released it as "Golang" from the start to save a lot of trouble and confusion.
