I wish the error handling proposal had gone the same way. The numerous error handling proposals finally got an official proposal [1] for a "try" keyword, which was arguably less elegant than some other proposals, and got a lot of pushback, and the Go team eventually withdrew it for somewhat unclear reasons.
