It won’t force you to deal with errors (generally, it will in some cases as a side-effect of erroring on unused variable but there’s plenty of case where that’s going to be suppressed or irrelevant), it won’t force you to deal with nullable pointers (which is all of them), it won’t force you to deal with unsynchronised shared mutables (which is easy to do unwittingly, just send a map or a pointer over a channel), it won’t force you to lock the right mutex before manipulating those when you’ve thought of having one, it won’t force you to properly use debatable APIs like `append`, it won’t force you to deal with the possibility of typed nils, etc… It will force you to remove or explicitly silence unused import though, because, you know, that’s what’s important.
