Streamlining the awful error handling would seriously make the developer experience SO much better... but this is Go, where developer experience comes dead last in priority.


Maybe I like the pain and I don't know it, but the overall DX is why I keep coming back to Go.


In general Go DX is fantastic.

But having done some Rust development lately, I really miss the ? thing every time I go back to golang. It's such a small change and purely syntactic but ould make ones code much shorter and maybe even more readable.


I suspect the reason why so many people are passionate about Go language features is that, if it only had their one pet feature, it would be the perfect language. But I agree that the error handling could be better!
