My take on the points mentioned:

1. Goroutine memory use - Post happens to be about 1.2 and 1.4 and I started with 1.5.

2. Debugging - yes handling errors are a bit tedious. I have not written much boilerplate to handle errors. I just copy error handlers a lot. Maybe that’s why error strings are a lot common.

3. Goroutine leaks - This is scary, I have used goroutines with channels but properly so far. Yes you can write code that leaks. This is something you will have to check yourself.

4.Testing - not done much.

Overall - I feel author learned of some negative aspects about Go and turned away. Some of them like Goroutine memory footrpint will improve with time (e.g. 1.5 earned a lot of praise for GC improvement). A lot places author mentions possible improvements for e.g godebug or latest Go with SSL but did not try it as much. So it may not be as relevant to new Go adopters.
