I considered making some joke about how "considered harmful" essays should be considered harmful, but then I found that I am twenty years late.

The name is a play on the classic "goto" essay.

More importantly, it's directly referencing the contents of Dijkstra's essay and arguing that "go" is bad for the same reasons that "goto" is. In most of the other considered harmful blog posts the title is just a meme.

Indeed. For most of the article, the conclusion could be "concurrency is hard" instead of "go is harmful".
