Make a decision to or forget to check error codes. My gripe is fairly different from the OP's in this aspect. Go is inconsistent. For functions that return values I need to use, I will be warned by the compiler if I forget to handle the error. For those that don't, the compiler will happily let me accidentally ignore the error. I'd rather require that all return values be handled whether I use them or not. For the rare case that a function returns a value I honestly don't care about, I can just use _. At least I'm not hiding the fact that I knowingly am ignoring stuff. (Edit: despite the above, I still do enjoy using Go.)
