Always names with generic words which complicates the search. Rust metal, Rust the game, Rust what. And now Crab cooking, Crab fauna

I'm absolutely convinced that software names are a conspiracy for to bring users to the threshold that will make them weep.



Many of the non-generic ones are even worse. C? C#? C++? D?

  Unable to look up "C++ language". The following search tokens are too short: C


I completely agree, but C/C++ are excusable for being named before any internet search engines existed at all.

The other two…well, either viewpoint would have excellent arguments pro/con.


At least with Go you can use "Golang" in search and get reasonable results. With Rust, I often have to write "rust programming language + [what im searching for]" which is really annoying. Not sure if anyone ever dubs Rust to "Rustlang".


The website is literally rust-lang.org.


fair point
