The title only suggests something unique about Go to those who didn't read the article.

There's a good chunk of that article dedicated to discussing the language choice and how other languages could have been used instead but -in this specific instance- wasn't chosen. The language choice is as much a part of the topic as the compression routines themselves. So it makes a lot of sense to include the term 'Go' in the title given that's a large focus of the article.

It's really no different to all these articles that spring up about fancy demos being built in Javascript or CSS tricks. Yet in those instances nobody says "the title is misleading. You could write that demo in C++ as well."
