I have compiled some Go (so fast) but written zero Go. I do not like garbage collected languages, but rather a garbage collector than reference counting (I have done a lot of Swift - Why? For money - there could be no other reason)

The author is making a living out of being a full time Rust online personality - https://fasterthanli.me/articles/becoming-fasterthanlime-ful... - maybe these unnecessarily controversial takes help them attract more attention and make a bit more money.
"Author has built an audience around quality educational material that goes more in-depth than most others, and occasionally allows himself a rant" is closer to reality.
But, feel free to believe whatever you like better.
