We have different interpretations of the article. My reading was 
"I hate these properties of Go."

You're making a big assumption about which programmers and 
projects count and which don't. I wonder if outside of Google if 
there are even 100 programmers working full time exclusively with 
Go. I don't work full time with D, but I work with it a lot, and 
I don't see why my experience shouldn't count.
