Flamebait? It's literally what the designers of Golang said publicly about the background of prospective developers, and how that constrained the language design:

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They're typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They're not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."
