I asked a Go programmer how much of the code base was Go error handling boilerplate. He measured it and said 75% I suppose it varies from code base to code base. There’s no denying it’s high though. > handled locally Except in practice, you don’t. You just keep returning the error up the call stack until something handles it at the top, probably by trying again or more likely just logging it.
