Ugh, yeah, handling errors sounds like work because it is. But imagine the consequences of a program that doesn't do this work. If it is doing something important, fingers crossed. (Keep in mind: unhandled exceptions are like panics. Not good.)

> handling errors sounds like work because it is. Writing assembly instructions also sounds like work, and it is, but I'm glad my language/compiler does it for me ;)

  Your compiler can't handle errors for you. Error propagation is not error handling.

    Well, if(err != nil) return err; pretty much sounds like propagation to me ...
    - NateDad 9y ago
      Yes, which is not error handling. Exceptions automatically handle error propagation, which is not the hard part of dealing with errors.
