Thanks for sharing this. I'm halfway through it, and it is indeed damning, if only mildly so (compared to, say, phpsadness). As the author says, the specifics are not the point, rather the overall picture they build: that simplicity in language design has its own price, and sometimes all it means is that the underlying complexity is passed on to you to handle in your program yourself; and the damning part is, Go does not seem to do a good job of making that process as smooth and clear as it could.
