>ignoring an error condition (by either forgetting about it We rely on linters to catch that, which is pretty easy to implement (no expensive intra-procedural analysis needed, which is the case with exceptions). >Go can abort at any point as well. Panics, unlike errors, are exceptional situations which generally should not be caught (a programming error, like index out of range). They're usually much rarer than errors.
