We talk about complexity a lot, to the point where "simple" often really means "I like this", and "complex" often means "there is something about this I do not like, or do not understand".

About the reference to "Go is a shop-built jig", it seems to me one way of reading that piece is that Go offloads the complexity to you to deal with, rather than offloading it to the toolchain (all the Ruby Gems, rbenv, etc stuff the author mentions). If you like to work that way then cool, but I would question the conclusion that the overall complexity has really changed.
