Are there any languages that have a more unsearchable name than "C#/.NET"?

C is hard for being a single character, C++ is hard for having plus-signs. "C#" takes it a step forward and ".NET" is a top level domain, which is hilarious.

Bonus points to Go (for being a verb) and Rust (for being a game). "Brainfuck" gets no points for having a swear, since it's easy to search and not widely used.

@lynndotpy @kalleboo the year I presented they also had a name collision with BANGBANGCON (the BTS tour that year) which meant they had to have a warning in Korean on both their landing and purchase page
