For not disciplined devs (…) it can easily eat errors. Linters catch some of that and of course you can also do that in exception based languages but in those you have to really explicitly put catch {} which is a code smell while missing an error check in go is easier to just ‘forget’. I actually like the go way but not that it’s easy to forget handling; that’s why I prefer a Haskell/Idris return error (monad) way like Go but making it impossible to pass the result without explicitly testing for errors more.
