I liked this summation because the migration happened for a truly valid reason: Python really was a bottleneck. Not that I expected ESR to succumb to hype driven development, but it's nice to see for sure.
On the article itself: I just knew that error handling would have the biggest write-up, even when the one writing was someone like ESR. Gods, the error handling in Go is odious.
Now my obligatory opinion: If only [insert language here, Go in my current job]'s promise of producing more maintainable code was true; the reality is that it's just the same nigh unmaintainable hell I've found in nearly every other project I've worked on. At least Python is nice to read, even (mostly) when awfully written. Oh, how I miss it.
