I was _only_ pointing out, through _one_ simple example, the flaw in your conclusion of Go errors being tedious. I was not discussing other languages nor how to incorporate extensive and fluid error handling in Go to be as capable as any in other language. And since you've raised several points that weren't pertinent, it seems you simply want to disagree with me, so i'll end my side of this discussion. Have fun.

What is the magic pixie dust in Go which makes returned error values not tedious?

(Besides, of course, what I mentioned in the original posting: panic and recover.)
