Yup, I also think the author has a pretty low threshold for calling something a "footgun". For me, that's something that compiles fine, but blows up later at runtime, not the compiler telling you that you can't put an opening brace on its own line - that's more like a gentle slap on the wrist. But some of his other opinions are also debatable, like calling Go "not really object-oriented" because it doesn't support inheritance...
