Go is flawed but so are all the programming languages I've ever used. The author raises some valid criticisms imo but I'm not sure what the point is supposed to be. Go is good for some use-cases and not for others

It might be offensive to some people, but even if it doesn't offend it makes you sound like a weirdo. This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ politics

Saying that this is keeping up with changing trends of what is politically correct language implies that there was a time when referring to women as "females" outside the context of a biology lesson didn't sound weird as hell. Have you got any sources for mass usage of the term in that way from the past?
