I have a hard time believing that it's common to create SEGFAULT in Go, I worked with the language for a very long time and don't remember a single time where I've seen that. ( and i've seen many data race )

Not synchronizing writes on most data structure does not create a SEGFAULT, you have to be in a very specific condition to create one, those conditions are extremely rares and un-usual ( from the programmer perspective).

In OP blog to triggers one he's doing one of those condition in an infinite loop.

You really have to go hunting for a segfault in Go. The critical sentence in OP article is: in practice, of course, safety is not binary, it is a spectrum, and on that spectrum Go is much closer to a typical safe language than to C. OP just has a vested interest in proving safety of languages and is making a big deal where in practice there is none. People are not making loads of unsafe programs in Go nor deploying as such because it would be pretty quickly detected. This is much different to C and C++.
