Ever wrote a big program in python? Then you know it works at runtime. Not at compile time. Go comes with more typesafety while being a bit more verbose. Its a tradeoff.
Which is the article's point.
Rust is like a phone with a lot of buttons and commands, give you more options and freedom of choice. Go is like a simple phone with very few buttons which has enough to enable you the real purpose of the phone, to make phone calls.
Its just more pragmatic, and that doesnt make it a sin.
Particularly, i like to have options.. its good we have them all, and we can choose the right tool for the job.
