"I think it's a canary. How many languages do you hear this said about?"
In general, I see "This new language I'm learning sucks because it needs to work more like the language I know best" for all kinds of languages. "Python needs to use braces instead of indentation." "$X needs to handle errors more like $Y." (lots of things can be filled in there!) Complaints about the dynamic/optional/static typing in a language. "Haskell may be pretty but isolating IO effects like that is impractical, it ought to work more like most languages."

No, it's not even remotely isolated to Go.
