Google won't even display the documentation for WTFPL golang projects on their pkg.go.dev service, which is the defacto documentation service for the language. You have to fallback to using alternatives like godocs.io

They don't want to list projects with such license because of language used? Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

What's with this discrimination against the license...

Personally I appreciate the clear intent of this 'license', but I've been advised by IP lawyers that public domain does not exist in many countries. In addition, the foul language is likely to put off the courts from taking it seriously. I try to keep expletives where they belong, as comments and an occasional identifier.
