I feel like error handling in Go is divided between people who have been using the language for a long time, and those who are new to it. If you're used to exceptions, and languages with some kind of '?' operator, typing `if

Given Go’s approach to “metaprogramming” has long relied on tools written in Go, this does seem like a feature gap that needed closing. Even the introduction of `go generate` long ago formalized this approach, but still left installing the

Came here to suggest groups.io as a mailing list. I use it for my HOA--we need timely notifications (trash pickup delays, parking bans, etc.) and a lot of folks don't have (or want) Facebook. It has solid moderation tools, apps if you

The problem is that in American home-buying, insurance is often compulsory for a purchase with a mortgage. This makes sense from the bank's perspective--they want to insure their collateral. However, the system doesn't really have

I see this often on our codebase. It was mostly written by ex-C# developers who were new to writing Go, and there’s many ham-handed C#-isms in there. At some point, someone took a guess at how something should be, then subsequent changes we
