The article's author has written and shipped tons of quality Go code that is still used in production by many people, myself included. Sometimes, a poor language is a good tool for specific task despite of being generally a poor language. Sometimes, knowing and liking a bad language makes you use it for tasks it's not suited for. Go is in the same category as JavaScript and PHP there, which have their valid uses, but also a lot of valid reasons to stay away from. You only learn how and when to choose them once you become experienced enough in several languages to notice the differences between them over long term usage and project maintenance.
