There is a literal full paragraph dedicated to explaining it, maybe don't ignore the oodles of context I left to avoid exactly what you did.

Saying other languages are more suited to real work doesn't mean Go isn't suited at all, it literally means other languages are more angled towards the "end product" or the "real meat and potatoes" of just making a thing work than Go.

It's literally a strength of Go. Go doesn't want to include the kitchen sink or even confine you to having a kitchen at all and I respect that.

But I'm saying that other languages that include more in the way of affordances can help one be more productive, and I believe combining a language that includes more, with the mindset of not abusing the buffet is a winning combination.

Ymmv, I'm not an oracle, I just expect people to read things in a reasonably charitable way which usually works fine as long as they're not being defensive.
