If Scala and Go were the only two technologies mentioned you would have a point. But this is a monstrous fad bloated lineup of technologies they have there. Integrating this mess is way way more complex than any individual language.

There are good arguments for trying new technologies, but this particular instance seems to be a very good example of how such a strategy can go terribly wrong.

[Edit] On second thought, I might be jumping to conslusions as I don't know anything about how successful they are in actually achieving their goals, doing it on budget or how fun it is to work there. Their actual approach may be less confused than the blog post makes it sound.
