Yep, most of what the author complains about are trivial issues you could find in any language. For contrast, some real, deep-rooted language design problems with Go are:
- Zero values, lack of support for constructors
- Poor handling of null
- Mutability by default
- A static type system not designed with generics in mind
- `int` is not arbitrary precision [1]
- The built-in array type (slices) has poorly considered ownership semantics [2]
Notable mentions:
- No sum types
- No string interpolation
