Nah, not that I like Go very much but while reading this article I was like "oh, and how is this Go's fault?". It is like I'd depend on some library and then the library gets pulled from the internet or updated in an incompatible way, how is this a problem of the language that I develop in.
I might as well blame my text editor for allowing me to do stupid things.

The difference is whether the editor turns around and deletes /home as a punishment (Go community) or tries to educate the user about a better approach without acting like an asshole (pretty much all other language communities).
