I just can't stand taking three lines to unpack a value from a map or to return if error. Why can't I just say `return if err := somefunc(); err != nil` It's mega frustrating on top of the lack of generics and other abstracti

I'd say it's a feature. Particularly if you think the government of CAR to be corrupt. I personally think governments are all based on the fallacy that a group of people can have rights that individuals can't. So, for me it&#
