Being able to read your code you wrote 2 years ago does wonders for survivability, which is a gross simplification of course.

It's a great language for some problems, horrible for others. The problem is people tend to talk as though everyone works in their domain.

It won't stop you from asking wtf did someone write this and then doing a git blame and seeing your name.

If “each individual line is easy” would work, we would be reading-writing in assembly. I don’t accept the premise that Go would be any better in this region, if anything, it is worse by cluttering up the happy path by error “handling” noise, and much harder than they should be opewtions.
