I have accidentally failed to handle errors in golang code in a large corporate setting that was run under multiple linters. This was "simple" and straightforward code, and the last time it happened was within the past month. I wish I remembered exactly what I did, but it was rebased over to be fixed.

If you need sufficiently advanced linters to catch every case, your error handling is not explicit. Especially if those linters are not currently sufficiently advanced.

You're conflating "explicit" and "statically verified".

Agreed that static verification by default is ideal. Rust wins here.
