I don't think there is anything in Go (the language) that helps achieve this - its mostly cultural. (Go creators and community being very outspoken about handling errors).

In fact, the easiest thing to do in Go is to ignore the error; the next easiest is to early-return the same error with no additional context.

Technically speaking, Rust has way better tools for adding context to errors. See for example https://docs.rs/color-eyre/latest/color_eyre/

It does expect you to use `wrap_err` to get the benefits, though. Which is easier to do than what Go requires you to do for good contextual errors, and even easier if you want reasonable-looking formatting from the Go version.

IMO you need both things: culture to make it happen, and technology to make it easy and reasonable looking. Rust lacks the former to some degree; Go lacks the later to some degree (see e.g. kustomize error formatting - everything ends up on a single line)
