Hi. as already said before "ching chang chong", is not part of my vocabulary!
Racist phrasing aside, The programming language here is often referred to as "Golang" because of its former domain name, golang.org, despite its proper name being Go.
Golang is still widely used for specificity in searching since 'go' is often too generic of a term
You could honestly ask for "Google programming language"! If I google for "google programming language" the first hit I get is "An open-source programming language supported by Google" - https://go.dev IMO "googlelanguage" fits best.
