    • To be honest they should just rename it "Google Stupid Waste Of Time". But "Issue 9" is ok too.

    • Notwithstanding the issue with the prior language of the same name, Go would prove to be a very difficult name to search for. Not only does Issue 9 have a nice ring to it, it's pretty unique.
