I typed the text and google suggested first in drop down:

Javascript: why is javascript v8 so fast
Java: why is javascript so popular
Python: why is python documentation so bad
Perl: why is perl 6 taking so long
R: why is runescape so laggy
Ruby: why is ruby on rails so popular
Fortran: why is fortran so fast
C++: why is c++ called so

Not sure how google guesses what i want to ask.

[Mr Flibble]

You are not playing the game properly.

Google: "Why is [thing] so"

Don't put anything in-between [thing] and "so".

Google tells _me_ it's also hard and popular.

Your answers may vary.

I think you mean C++ when you say "it's." Duckduckgo
also said those things. I was just giving a summary
of the top two things it came back with.

If you haven't asked Google a question like this (at least that Google
can match to you now), Google will look at what other people have
entered as search strings. It may also weight them by how similar it
thinks those people are to you.

I don't have herpes. A lot of people are nosy and
don't mind their own business.
