Go is one of the worst things to happen to the programming community in recent times, truly a 20 year step back that ignores practically everything we have learned about programming.

Have you ever taken a look at the error handling in Go standard libraries? Rob Pike is constantly badly reinventing monadic error handling patterns and doing it wrong; He even admitted to this himself.
- yahyaheee 7y agoO here we go with more canned Go insults. It's actually written by a bunch of old guys that have seen the evolution of programming and made the design for very specific reasons that you apparently can't understand. Error handling is an active topic of consideration, but I kinda like how it is now. Have you ever maintained production Scala code? I have and it was an absolute nightmare compared to Go.
