In rust, errors are difficult to ignore (you need to either allow compiler warnings, which AFAICT nobody sane does, or write something like `let _ = my_fallible_function();` which makes the intent to ignore the error explicit). Perhaps more fundamental: it’s impossible to accidentally use an uninitialized “success” return value when the function actually failed, which is easy to do in C, C++, Go, etc.
