sigh I hadn't heard of phdtree, and was interested that they were considering moving from python to go. I totally see your point, but this forum is at its most useful to me when I'm hearing about software projects and the tech they're being built with, and sometimes self-promotion is in service of that.

By this sentiment would it be acceptable for phdtree to go to every article on hn that mentions golang and post an identical comment with a link to their project? If I have a project written in js should I post a link in articles mentioning js with, "Hey, my project is also using js: www.myproject.com!"?

Clearly not - have they done that? Javascript is a bad analogy because of its prevalence and entrenchment.

Perhaps a better way for me to have put my sentiment would have been, "I'm not tired of this, so I don't mind seeing it", where "this" means both phdtree specifically and hearing about project being written in, moving to, or considering moving to Go in general. Clearly you are tired of it, either from having seen other specific phdtree postings or from having seen more postings about Go in general than you care to. That's fine, but it's not where I'm at.
