It's buried in the article, but I think the suggestion is "use almost any language other than Go" rather than Rust specifically.
The takeaway - if you gloss over the ranting and look for the good bits - seems to be that you should choose a language that handles a lot of the boilerplate for you (e.g., no verbose error handling) and has FFI.
It's not a bad argument, and it's making me think about how and when I use Go. For that, at least, it's worth reading.
