I associate it with "golang", the search-optimized way to refer to the language Go, from the world's largest search company.


Before golang there was rubylang, clang, racketlang, dlang, slang, etc. Seems like a pretty common convention for language websites not limited to a single organization. Be used “Kit”, but I’m not familiar with anyone else that did (and NeXT used it long before they did).


Sure. But would you refer to that as the "hype train"?
