Same, didn't see anything that was remotely Go other than a generic http handler written in PHP. The other part about handling 500,000 orders a month on a $6/host isn't very impressive. You can do orders of magnitude more with just PHP. You can do that in a minute with Go.


turns out "go" is also a verb.


Thus is why I wish titles quoted names, at least where is there is any possibility of confusion


Not sure how quotes would help?

If referring to the go programming language, the title should say "golang with PHP"

There is no other way to disambiguate one of the most commonly used English verb from the obscure (in relative terms) programming language.


Those of us who program in Go are always looking at the word “go” in that lens. Our mistake.


> Go with "PHP"

And articles referring to Golang could read

> Go with "Go"
