There are lots of tools in Go that make up for issues people have with the language. Another example is the IDE macros people use for the standard if err != nil {} block.

Which doesn't make code easy to read when there are 10th of these blocks in a single function.

It may be 4 lines of code where 1 or 2 would do, but I don't find it hard to read.
