I think the "Go is great!" post was two days ago. It was a bit fluffy, but written by an enthusiastic 14 year old learning a new technology, and came from a well-meaning place. All good things.

So naturally there was an enormous overreaction and an article entirely devoted to telling everyone that someone didn't want to learn something shot to the top of HN yesterday. Because people who did want to learn it had to be told that other people weren't just going to stand around and let them engage in learning without telling everyone that they wouldn't be learning that if they were you.

And so, finally, today, we get the counter-counter-reaction, in which your perfectly reasonable "Go is fine and other things are fine too" post gets voted to the top as HN once again reaches an equilibrium with the idea that different people can like different things.
