It's written in Go because they didn't realize it was a dead-end choice. They optimized their own perf reviews instead of the actual long-term health of the ecosystem...

Misleading article. Probably partially AI written? Presents nonsense such as eg. the diamond inheritance example as valid-seeming argumentation.
Quite a few points are plain wrong and outdated and under-researched, eg. Python has uv, ruff and Pyrefly, and with that combination, has roughly the same agent ergonomics as Go and lower token count due to higher abstraction level.
