I think, also, that Go hasn't generally had a lot of criticism (aside from the generics débâcle) in this venue, so the "attack" might be hitting some especially sensitive skin. As an aside, I very much enjoyed "A half hour to learn Rust" from fasterthanli.me as it got me to actually start writing simple stuff in the language so I'm a little biased in favour of the author, but the critique didn't seem to be particularly harsh. As someone who's primarily a Java dev I'm used to seeing much more biting (and often inaccurate) condemnation of my own preferred tool!
