> Was the try() proposal for Go error handling?
Yes, it was the second proposal by the Go team for shorter error handling: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/32437-try-builtin.md https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/32437-...
> I'm really curious what happened to the proposals for shorter Go error handling
The community didn't like it and it was declined:

- infogulch 5y agoGenerics took several iterations from the Go team to finally land on the current (pretty good, imo) design. I might expect error handling to also require multiple tries before it sticks. And we should probably wait for the dust to settle on generics a bit before proposing another design for error handling.
