Flagging articles that criticize popular tools seems to be common. Particularly so with Go specifically.

  Go and Rust seem to have some of the most rabid fan bases of all programming languages and this article mentions both. A perfect HN storm. I think all the arguments against Go in this article are fair and I think you can write articles just as long about any programming language of your choosing. It's very strange to see the level professional programmers will stoop to if their favourite tool gets criticised. The fanboys of programming languages are the worst part of a language community. The "why not rewrite it in Rust" and the "you're golanging it wrong" crowds only drive people away from their respective languages.
