I would agree, but then, the author names reasons to dislike Go (even if we all heard them before), does not say anything about Google and is not even exceptionally vulgar about it. So after reading about golang over and over, it seems it is going the MongoDB way. A lot of excitement at the start because it's easy and fast to put something out but as soon as maintenance mode needs to kick in, people realize it is not the silver bullet and maybe not even a ok solution. But isn't that a problem of the whole industry? First a hype gets build up and a lot of people jump on the band wagon. Then the real world kicks in and some complain overly loud and others chime in with "I told you so". Finally a lot of people change the tech stack silently because nobody likes to talk about their failures too much. I can't say if it is the same with golang, I did not use it at all yet, but some design decisions are at least doubtful.
