Meme-based blogging style != in a well written, multi-page article he added 2 meme pictures for fun.
It's 3 three meme pictures. And "hater" or "motherfucker" are words that I expect from children, but not from a grown-up writing a blog post.
If you are over 60 or new to this Information Superhighway, maybe...
His basic point seems to be "use the right tool for the right job", which I think we all can agree with. I've been programming stuff in Go for about half a year now and I'd have to agree with the author - building a website in Go doesn't make much sense, for many of the same reasons building a website in c or java (for me the java process is too slow) doesn't make much sense. On the other hand, the concurrency model…
My experience is the opposite. I build websites in Go. I find it about as easy as building in Python. Web programming is mostly about filling html templates with data and Go's built-in html template is excellent (on par with Django templates). Comparing Go to C for web dev is ridiculous - no sane person would write the whole thing in C. Even compared to Java Go wins by a huge margin when it comes to speed of developm…
Why? There are other languages that are just as powerful. From a social/community standpoint, Rails does have a big advantage of a large established community with very good dynamics and practices. Neither Ruby nor Ruby on Rails is the be-all or end-all of computation, however. Maybe cloning Rails is ridiculous. What people should strive to do is surpass it.

I've been writing a web app with Go for the past weeks, and for what I can say is that yes, Go has less magic in it, and if you don't do it right, you'll get a lot of duplicated code. It's not designed from the ground up as a web language so it might not be as suitable to write web apps using Go as other languages, but it's a real pleasure to write in Go.
By that logic, Ruby shouldn't be suitable to write web apps either.

As a rule of thumb, I just assume I'm reading the English writings of a Russian when I see vocabulary like that :)
I beg your pardon? This kind of language is prevalent in the writing of US/English teens and young people. Absolutely nothing "Russian" specific about it.

I'm not trying to be derogatory in any way; that's just how language is used there.
So, in nutshell: Build your web apps in something hyper productive like rails to proof of concept them, then find the high load bits and replace them with a go service. Seems like reasonable, if generic advice: prototype quickly, then go back and rebuild in something performant if its successful. Iterate quickly, etc. etc.
So yeah, sound advice but nothing revolutionary. Go looks nice though.
