One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
The The manage to still be the first hits for "the the".
I remember there was a catalogue company in the UK, I think it was part of Littlewoods, but it was well-established, except... it was called "index". That didn't do too well in the old web search era.
I think what we're really looking for here is some kind of A E S T H E T I C language.

Don't forget C, C++, C#, Go and .NET, all of which come close for unsearchability. I'm 99% sure search engines special case a ton of search terms like these - I had to add special cases just implementing a simple search on company names some years back.
Annoying! I guess text-to-speech software should also allow you to add special cases so that it knows if you say "see sharp" it should insert "C#" and similarly insert ".NET" for "dot net".
You could always use something like AutoIT and write a task that would monitor keypresses in application text boxes and replace them based on your preferred rules.
Also the new language V, it was originally named Volt. Why, just why?! The author is even aware it's un-google-able:
Why "V"?
Initially the language had the same name as the product it was created for: Volt. The extension was ".v", I didn't want to mess up git history, so I decided to name it V :)
It's a simple name that reflects the simplicity of the language, and it's easy to pronounce for everyone in the world.
Please note that the name of the language is "V", not "Vlang" or "V-Lang" etc.
The name is not very searchable (like Go), so use #vlang on Twitter, vlang on Google etc.
I mean, come on. Just keep it named Volt and change the extension to .vt or something... It even sounded cooler and think of the logos/artwork possible. Well it's too late now.
My favorite conspiration theory is that the names go and swift were chosen specifically to make it hard to google stuff.
If I invent a programming language, I will call it the.
Would be cool to have a book ~Thesign Patterns~
Precisely, you always wonder if C# or .NET will yield all the results so occasionally I try csharp and dotnet in my google searches.
I am pretty sure that the Google search guys have been working hard on making requests with "go" or "C#" work
The name Go is partially rejected by the community in favour of Golang. Same would be the fate of Thelang;
I program in Hack a lot. Imagine how horrible THAT is too look up.
"the programming language" does make for a nice tagline, too.

A bit like the document database from intersystems called chache with an accent on the e. Definitely doesn't work when searching for cache database
I'll call mine as "why"
someone: What is the best programming language to learn in 2045 ?
google: why?
😁
Google : why road map?
"Why why?"
nice tagline
Nice! Also pretty hard to alphabetise, given that 'the' tends to be ignored.
For ultimate ungoogleability, start the name with a minus symbol
On its own, you get no results, because it's a shortcut for excluding keywords from Google

I use .NET and I've become quite fond of speech to text lately. I am a C# developer. It is a nightmare.
Not to mention that whenever I say C#, it shows up as c sharp.
So yes, I spoke this response but I had to manually input a few key words.

Drop the “the”. Just ; it’s cleaner.
I got that reference.
pain is more accurate tbh
What about just naming it with the EOL character? 4 spaces?

Possibly changed it as Volt is a templating language used for some PHP frameworks, primarily Phalcon.
