I'm one of these ML-derived ideologues this article disparages. I hate Go precisely because of the reasons outlined in this article. In my perspective, OCaml and occupies mainly the same niche that Go does (same balance between high-level and low-level, same skepticism of the object oriented orthodoxy, etc). OCaml is a much better language than Go for so many reasons that I will not go into here. I'm also a Googler. Rather than inventing Go, if Google instead would have made OCaml its "Go", the world would be a better place than it is today. If the same tooling were built around OCaml, with some problems of its implementation fixed (multicore/parallelism, etc), there would be no complaints.
