I used "dramatize" to describe the blog post (in such that the blog post was written) and then "overdramatize" at the end in reference to my own infinite list of annoyances with Go and the normal course of discussion on HN about proglangs.

The blog post does admit "Are these insurmountable problems? No." Learning it in 5 minutes certainly is a stretch as you point out, but I'd still say you can learn it in a weekend to a greater degree than any other language I use.

Though you'll notice my comment after the first sentences is a way to share my own thoughts on Go, an opportunity I'm never going to neglect.
