Kubernetes is a huge project and not idiomatically written, so it would be shocking if it didn’t exhibit everything that can go wrong with Go. CockroachDB is a

  This is a No True Scotsman fallacy. "No REAL Go code fails to handle errors." OP demonstrated that failing to handle errors does in fact happen in the wild, while in Rust the compiler enforces that you must handle them. The question is whether this difference between the systems has practical implications, and it seems it does. The existence of community idioms that help avoid the problem doesn't change the fact that the languages themselves are meaningfully different.

    The question is whether the problem happens a lot or rarely. I’m saying Kubernetes is a bad example of the problem happening a lot because it’s a ton of code (which yes, is poorly written), and CockroachDB is a good example of it happening a lot because there is less code and it’s at a higher quality.
