I'm a Go enthusiast, but I think the charitable interpretation is that you don't have to expend lots of mental energy to read and write Go code. Even if you have a lot of mental capacity, you can put the excess toward interesting problems rather than reasoning about object lifetimes or hidden control flow or complex interactions between obscure features. If anyone uses "Go is designed for bad programmers" as an insult to Go programmers, they're only arguing against themselves (and lacking the cognitive faculties to notice).
