Yup.
I don't know if you've noticed, I try to be careful to include enough context in my comments to disambiguate multiple candidate meanings, and "Go" is not specific enough.

I don't see people saying Dlang, Clang, Javalang, C++Lang, Rustlang, Swiftlang,....
"D" is #1033, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_(programming_language) begins, "D, also known as Dlang, is a multi-paradigm system programming language created by Walter Bright at Digital Mars and released in 2001." I commonly see people resorting to elocutions like "Digital Mars D" or "D, the programming language" to clarify.
As you surely remember, when C was 13 years old (like Golang is now), it was common for people to write things like "The 'C' programming language" too. (Though not, of course, in Bell Labs or CSRG.) Most programmers only started calling it "C" without any additional qualification after it became the one and only language in which all serious software was written, something that will never happen to Golang.
Also, Golang is the second programming language to be called "Go", though the other one was much less popular.
Also, "go" is the wrong part of speech, so it induces parsing errors. This is a problem with the game too.
So, objectively, saying "Go" is 0.7–2.7 orders of magnitude more likely to cause confusion than your other examples. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is. I'm just glad they didn't try to name the programming language "Of". Or "The¿", or just ",".
Pulling back a bit, why do you think it's good to "correct" the word usage of strangers on the internet who haven't asked for your advice? If you see a road sign that says "NO THRU TRAFFIC" do you get out your paintbrush to correct it to say "THROUGH"?
And, from the other perspective, you're recommending that I defer to your expertise on English prose style. Why would someone do that? Have you written something that is regarded as an exemplar of English prose style? I have a lot of respect for your technical expertise from your HN comments, but I don't have you mentally tagged as a Brian-Kernighan-caliber writer, much less an Ursula-K.-Le-Guin-caliber writer. Change my mind!
Otherwise, just be glad I don't call it "Issue9".
