Poor programmers by Google's standards. I would argue the vast majority of programmers, even those outside of Google, don't want to be language researches, have no desire to be a language wonk, but want to build software to solve their and their companies problems. I read that quote and think it means that Golang is the only language the vast majority of programmers should be using unless they are researchers, not as a some veiled put down.

I managed to make go segfault multiple times (a real actual segfault). It's not a general purpose language. If you want to do things that aren't json RPC is awful.
