Did you even read the article. Also, it was written by an individual and their experience with the language. The article merits a read or at least a skim.
I cannot speak for others, but I do not see a cabal of people conspiring to bring down Golang on HN. Yes, esoteric languages get love and practical languages like C++/Go/Java et al. get hate because people are more familiar with them and see their warts.
The more a language is criticized the more often it is used.
It appears that many of the issues I see in articles of this type are often RTFM-level issues, especially when calling out linter exceptions (which a quick scan of the source code of an individual linter would help to explain).
Some people still call it a toy language because they are mentally like 15 years behind and think it's unreadable nested Jquery event emitter callbacks and Object.prototype overloading. The rest of us pushed for / picked up on the rapid improvements in tooling, spec, and best practices, causing "JavaScript fatigue", though that has slowed.
