Go is a weird one, because it's super easy to learn -if- you're familiar with say, C. If you're not, it still appears to be super easy to learn, but has enough pitfalls to make your day bad. I feel like much of the article falls into the latter camp.

I recently worked with a 'senior' Go engineer. I asked him why he never used pointer receivers, and after explaining what that meant, he said he didn't really understand when to use asterisks or not. But hey, immutability by default is something I guess.
