I remember when this article came out, everybody was pointing out the fact that they used a go version that was several releases older.

Perhaps if the intent wasn't to convince their managers to let them write it in Rust, they would have tried using the latest Go version at the time?

Then why publish it at all?

Not to mention, the article made no effort to establish that it's describing the world 2 years prior to this being written
