Yeah, it's pretty obvious to me the author doesn't like Go and some of the arguments raised really aren't concerns in (my very limited part of) the real world.

I've written a fair amount of Go and I am not bothered at all by the general ergonomics of the language. Some of the issues the author points out (like accidentally copying structs with embedded synchronization primitives) are caught by linters which you should be using regardless of what language you are coding in.

Edit: I dabble with Rust from time to time as well.
