His claim isn't necessarily wrong, and neither is yours. I find dynamically-typed languages easier to work with when dealing with (de)serialization, it's just that Go isn't too horrible at that to warrant abandoning it and losing out on its other niceties in favor of a different stack. I mean, everything sucks at something, and Go's type-system isn't....great....but it's "good enough" to where you just kind of curl your lips in slight disapproval sometimes instead of tearing your hair out.
