x := something() n := somethingElse(x) andSoOn() This won't compile in Go. x, err := something() n, err := somethingElse(x) andSoOn() This won't compile in Go as well (compiler requires that you use the variables you declare). You can only explicitly ignore errors: x, _ := something() n, _ := somethingElse(x) andSoOn() Except for one case where error is the only returned value. err := fmt.Println("") _ = fmt.Println("") // ok fmt.Println("") // ok
