The "simple" bit is just me poking fun at Go though, so yeah sure detach away.
For example, "I was told that garbage collection knobs were an antifeature" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32323019) could easily be mistaken for trolling even if you didn't mean it that way, and indeed it derailed the thread.
Trolling, despite the original meaning of the word, is more about effects than intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). If it wasn't your intent to derail the thread and turn it into yet-another programming language flamewar, then you should have disambiguated your intent (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).
