I could see how this statement could be construed as inflammatory, but I don't think he was implying that Go is a play toy. He was implying that you can't make a judgment on the language based on making play toys (the toy IRC client mentioned in the article).
Yes this is correct. I do not in anyway think Go is a toy. It's a fine language. I love kubernetes and it's written in Go. A lot of people took that statement to mean that I thought Go is a toy and I didn't mean that, so I apologize.

If you're suggesting Go is a play toy, you're wrong.
