Off topic from the article, I think, but what go has taught me about programming is that some parts of our industry are stuck in time and intellectually stagnant.
Go is a better C. I would prefer Go over Python. But really, when the state of the art (and production ready!) is light years ahead of Go, it frustrates me to no end to see colleagues spending so much time on things in their day to day that are solved problems in other languages.
