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.

Ideas for difficult-to-search or 'dangerous to search' language names:

• JavaScriptScript (no relation to javascript)

• 'Assassin for hire near me' lang

• C♯ (unicode sharp)

• C𝄲 (lesser-used unicode sharp)

• Anything using the Unicode private use area
