Yep, most of what the author complains about are trivial issues you could find in any language. For contrast, some real, deep-rooted language design problems with Go are:

- Zero values, lack of support for constructors

- Poor handling of null

- Mutability by default

- A static type system not designed with generics in mind

- `int` is not arbitrary precision [1]

- The built-in array type (slices) has poorly considered ownership semantics [2]

Notable mentions:

- No sum types

- No string interpolation
