Searching 'D' or 'dlang' makes difference to TIOBE index, but dlang gives better hits on Google

Just something for those who don't know it yet. I was wondering how TIOBE index is calculated for programming languages. This is their definition: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition/ And this is its grouping of search for either 'D' or 'dlang' >D: D (confidence: 90%, exceptions: -"3-D programming" -"DTrace"), dlang This proves that there is no need to change official name of 'D' to 'Dlang' :)

Oops lacking a 'no' in "makes differences" in the title. I meant "makes no differences".
But thinking twice, it actually better to use 'dlang' anyway.
