Others already mentioned several places you made invalid assumptions. Any good engineer worth their salt is language agnostic. I agree there are some that are threatened simply because their favorite language is no longer hip. I personally couldn't care less what the next language du jour is, be it Go or otherwise. What I do care about is that when posts like these are written they confound too many things and squander away an opportunity to let the larger programmer community double check all the numbers and verify that indeed the language/runtime was the culprit instead of something else. As it stands this is just a good story to justify the sunk cost of a re-write and nothing more.
