Yep, same with Java + island ;) Life is not always as hard as one may think ^^ Basti Am 05.09.2010 um 18:13 schrieb Perry Cook:

As with much Google, just adding the right word(s) helps a lot.

Yes, ChucK alone brings up Chuck Norris (and why wouldn't it?), but adding "Language" or "Unit Generators" or "Live Coding" usually gets the list you want.

5. ChucK is too short. (Tambet) Message: 5 Date: Sun, 5 Sep 2010 05:13:13 +0300 From: Tambet To: ChucK Users Mailing List Subject: [chuck-users] ChucK is too short. Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

The name "ChucK" needs some kind of prefix or suffix to give some method of good Google searches.

"ChucK music" gives ChucK berry; just "ChucK" gives a movie; "ChucK videos" is useless. If Google did understand the last capital letter, it would be all fine.

Google's own language is Go (or "Google Go"). They have another way to write it - "Go-lang". Go-lang gives all necessary things. "Go programming" does the same, but for general searches, this is not good - you might search for Go examples (and this sight might have no hint about programming) or Go users. You could search for Go libraries (not "Go programming libraries") or e-mail applications written in Go (no "e-mail applications written by programming in Go").

Just having some convention - for example that "ChucK" is abbreviation of "Chuck K..." and then having this "Chuck K..." in title or first occurrence of language's name in each good page talking about ChucK.

Otherwise it's just too much work to search :)

So ..ChucK name conquest?

With this http://www.dasher.org.uk/ powerful application I found a few days ago it took half of minute to find my own suggestion - "Chuck Kit". It could be also "Chuck sound Kit" or "Chuck soundKit" (to keep the case convention). I would be happy if it was *anything* - anything except some very common english name, which gives us all kinds of stars and TV programs when googled for.
