Go isn't very declarative. The thing that always gets me with go is how much stuff has to be (or is culturally) imperative code. This isn't article isn't wrong, simple things arent easy and easy things aren't simple. But saying one is better than the other is not right either. Turring machines are simple but we don't use them for anything serious cause it's WAAAAY to difficult to make anything worthwhile. It's been a while but golang keeps making simple is better decisions that hurt the language and ecosystem. Sure, saying just download a dep from git is simple, but it doesn't work. It makes the whole ecosystem fragile. Sure putting all your deps in a global folder is simple but it means you have to have a tool to manage envs and swap them out anyway to be able to write more than one app. Simple != Easy but neither of them equal good.
