Dunno about "just fine" - I rarely use Go programs, but I found a bug in the one I work with the most which turned out to be precisely a failure to write "if err != nil". It just feels kind of embarrassing when we… already know how to prevent these problems.
- OkayPhysicist 4y agoThat's kinda Go's whole schtick: Google couldn't be assed to hire developers who had the baseline knowledge of their field, so they needed a language devoid of any of the useful advancements in language design made over the last 40 years except garbage collection. Its focus is to be written by the grossly inexperienced, and anyone who doesn't fit that category will miss basic functionality from every other language they've ever used.
