This is 100% how to write more reliable software. We are in the process of reducing our TS dependencies to effectively just express and node-postgres and everything is becoming infinitely easier to manage.

Yes, all true - apart from treating errors as values and including them function signatures... That should simply be something every modern language should ship with

I have never written any code in Go, but increasingly I am writing my TS in the style I hear Go code is written in. Very procedural, very verbose. All of the fancy indirection you get with coding everything with higher order functions just makes the program impossible to debug later. Procedural style programming lends itself to debugging, and I definitely am so dumb I need to debug my own programs.

I may simply be too dumb for lots of fancy functional programming. I can barely understand code when reading one line and statement at a time. Reading functions calling functions calling functions just makes me feel like gravity stopped working and I don't know which way is up. My brain too small.
