I think you are right. And I feel like if I'd read something like this about any other platform I'd feel the same as you.

However, when I think about it, If I was moved enough to write something about the pain points of Go I would probably do it like the author did here. Not because I think the tone is correct in general but because I've seen that constructive criticism got thrown out by the Go community (I mean the people in decision making, not the entirety of users) over and over. I'd just be following their lead on the tone.

Also, this article does not have the same tone as the infamous PHP article (https://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/) as in mocking it. It feels more like someone passionate about Go getting angry because they can't use it in it's full potential. It's good to have people like that.

Not the best way to do it though. You are right. But as I said, this has been the way Go people have been treating criticism.
