The proposal confuses shadowing of err, which is mostly irrelevant anyway but at least you can see it today. It also makes breakpoints or inserting log statements etc. more difficult without reformatting code. And lastly, it teases the ternary conditional operator that Go lacks, constantly reminding me of this. So IMO I would use a different language rather than adopt this.
