> anti-intellectual languages like Go

Meaning...?

I generally agree with your class argument but don't see how Go fits into it, nor what an "intellectual" language would be.

Perhaps they thought the lack of memory management options in Go is anti-intellectual?

I'm not a huge fan of Go (more of a Python/Rust person--to promote my bias) but I can't think of how it would be "anti-intellectual" (either). The statement was way out of place.

Ignoring prior art, like generic types until 10 years later. Basically it's the evolution of java repeated; the second time is farce.
