I disagree, Go ignores errors by default. No sane C dev would accept that as an "upgrade".

  In what way does C not ignore errors?
• skybrian 8y ago
  What do you mean? Error checking for C is very inconsistent (sentinel values and errno), so surely that's worse?

    I think they mean that C coders have wrestled so much with the language's terrible error handling mechanics (or lack thereof) that it's probably one of the first thing they'd want fix when "upgrading" languages. I would tend to agree.

      Upgrading error handling is great, but Go has the worst approach on doing it.

        Worse than checked exceptions (Java)? How about unchecked exceptions?
