Many would argue that it is a systems-level programming language. The thing that I've realized in the discussion over programming languages is that everyone is wrong and right while saying the exact opposite things. I agree with you on the point of Rust not being anything like Go, ironically Google is using Go to replace both C++ and Java. It kinda shows that Go is mid-way between the two in some sense. I think Go's greatest claim to fame is its speed of execution in comparison to true competitors like Node. The article was meant to bring together all of the viewpoints when compared to several languages that have come up when trying to figure out what Go's use is.
