I’m not sure if I buy that. Did you read the article? The author is expressing explicitly what’s wrong in many areas and why they’re useful. I don’t like rebuttals like this because it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of Go-lovers avoiding criticism from outside because “They won’t get it due to their background”. Great, now we’ve just created an echo-chamber. It’s good to get outside perspective and debate. I’m sure many Go experts would like to understand where they could improve - without losing Go’s core minimalism.

Author’s tone could be better but they’re just being straightforward that they don’t like Go and specifically why. Totally ok in my view.
