I might be biased, as I had to read every Go rant back then when writing a "How to complain about Go" article, and this is clearly the same narrative.
Author did a good job to hide it, but if you look closer you'll see indirect Go mentioning throughout the whole article:
- "“What do you mean, you think Go’s error handling is bad? It’s simple!”"
- How can we articulate a position more powerful than “syntax highlighting is juvenile?” <- refers to the Rob Pike's opinion about syntax highlight
- "Go’s error handling has become a meme,"
- "The creators of Go have said, sometimes in pejorative terms,1 that “average programmers” have difficulty understanding complex languages,"
- "It’s inflammatory, but the article “Why Go’s design is a disservice to intelligent programmers” is worth reading just for the quotes from Rob Pike."
