Once again, this comment was crude but factual, and it was answering to a bait/attack post in the first place. And go is indeed a simpler language by philosophy that is widely criticised for lacking certain features that a lot of people consider important, and it is made for productivity according to the authors. About the "not smart enough" part, it's not a real quote, but isn't quite the exaggeration. Here's a real quote by Rob Pike:
"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt" – Rob Pike @ Lang Next 2014, From Parallel to Concurrent
Now read the parent of that post, about the "type system fidget spinner" and you'll see what a flamebait and well disguised personal-attack looks like. Or yours, to see a real personal attack that got flagged and is now marked as dead.
