this comment now makes no sense because the parent got edited.

Both are programming languages, 5 minutes of work on googles part would have resolved the clash.

Either they've been careless (doing your homework before you stake a claim on a name is important, see the 'gmail' fail in Germany, which they rightly lost, and yes, that was a trademark dispute, and in spite of being clearly wrong from the get-go google decided to push on and on in a clear attempt to crush the other party with litigation when everybody could see they were just plain wrong).

Or they've been doing this wilfully, in which case they deserve no respect at all.
