I agree with blog author's sentiments. Go is a bit too imperative but that really aides in a team environment. Though the Golang's constructs are a bit bland (especially error handling) it actively prevents code to be too intelligent there by aiding readability I am able to work on the code I wrote 2 years ago with little difficulty in Golang and I can't make the same claim for other `leading` languages (though I assume full responsibility for what happened)
Edit: grammer and spelling
