While the author has a lot of valid points, he forgets the goal of Go. Go was designed as a simple language, that is fast, but has similar power to existing dynamic languages such as python.
The tradeoff in these designs are to prevent tuple types, always keep using structs, prevent using algebraic types over structs. Allow for nil, but try prevent common Null errors etc.
Haskall is theoretical a much better language. But Golang was designed to be practical & simple over being mathematically sound, and theoretical better.
