For what it's worth, in Rust, this pretty much translates to some_operation(&arg) .with_context(|| format!("Some operation failed: {arg}"))?; or, in most cases, the shorter some_operation(&arg) .context("Some operation failed")?; If you forgot to call `with_context` and simply write some_operation(&arg)?; the error is still propagated, it's just missing whatever context you wanted to add. Whether that's better or worse than the Go snippet is something I'll let the reader decide.
