Absolutely agree with you on that front. Go's tedious error checking and manual rewrapping is pretty annoying and I'm sure there's a smarter way to do things waiting to catch on. That being said, I prefer that annoyance over the horrors of working in a codebase where exceptions are used for control flow, not checked at all, or just treated as an afterthought. In my experience, those programs tend to be fragile, often crash with little context, or just silently continue after a failure. At least Go forces you to deal with it.
