Personally I've been saddened by Nokia's downfall. I still remember the time I wrote Python code for both S60 and N900 series phones, taught a class about this too... Nokia had some really cool funky tools to work with..
Perhaps W8 will do some wonders; I guess its nostalgia :-(
apparently Thoughtworks has been building the Go continuous delivery tool as a custom product from even before Google made Go! I think the word "GO" hasn't been trademarked yet.
Speaking of golang (go), this slide [0] lists breaking new ground in programming language research as a non-goal. That may include language name research.
