You don't think JSON should be validated in production? Presumably you think you should always be able to trust anyone who sends you JSON? I mean Go already does a bunch of UTF-8 validations in its JSON encoder/decoder [1]. No nee

Yep. Implementation looks simple enough that, if it is a drop-in replacement, should be up-streamed. Curious to know if there are any known caveats? Otherwise, go for it. May seem daunting, but it's not. I've submitted a couple of

Your lengthy post just argues you shouldn't “mask” errors in random places. Well that's great that no one said you should. Error handling is not masking, or swallowing errors.

Yes. The point is the extra steps mean that the delta between “just bubbling up” and “doing something about it” is smaller, which increases the chance that you'll consider “doing something about it.” If “bubbling up” is infinitely easi

Bubbling up errors is not handing them. Making bubbling up even easier because people find this too verbose is the original mistake: if err != nil { return err } I find it verbose too. But if the alternative is to design so

I think I did it first… or I just missed it. Well, as long as you're not brothered with it, great! I know I'm not adding much value, I just wanted to “bookmark it” for myself.

It's not unpopular: I know. I mean, I mentioned the monopoly in my comment for a reason. But for this niche purpose, GitHub is my (last) social media, and GitHub stars are my bookmarks. So, yeah, I agree, but your suggestion does littl

I know this is terribly unfortunate, and supporting the monopoly, but consider a GitHub mirror. I just mirrored it myself to keep tabs on it, because otherwise I'll forget it. Very interesting approach.

But now you're open to [Redis] taking you to court saying that your service that uses [Redis] is too similar to “just [Redis]” for you to offer it to anyone else. Field of use restrictions are a terrible idea, and totally incompatibl

Yeah, IMO the only reason not to switch at $6 is mistrust at the person conducting the experiment: they're tricking me to switch because they know I won. If I knew it was double blind, I'd switch instantly.
