> I wouldn't use Go as a good example of naming a language. It worked out because the language had the weight of Google behind it

this is called the no true scotsman fallacy - "I'm still right in XYZ case because XYZ isn't a real instance of ABC (the thing I'm making a claim about)"

No, it's not, because I didn't make a universal claim about anything. A No True Scotsman fallacy must follow a overly-broad No Scotsman statement.

All I said is that Go, specifically, is an awkward name that probably shouldn't be used to justify further awkward names.
