If you'd like to see something that's not "if err != nil", I recommend looking into elixir; there is the option of doing ok/error tuples, and there is a more ergonomic railway programming structure called "with". However, as it is a BEAM language, often the best solution is to "let it fail" as an error handling strategy. Let the process raise and crash, and a supervisor will restart it in a safe state if necessary.
