In addition, GO failed to advance the art of error handling in any way, in fact I'd call it a step back. I can already do multiple return values in python, or I can choose to use exceptions rarely or frequently depending on the problem and have easy syntax like 'with' for critical cleanup. Any language that demands 100% programmer reliability to trap errors is not useful for most projects that don't have google-level code review and rapidly changing project specs.

I've done the C way of checking every function for errors. It's painful, and should be done only when the problem domain demands it, which is a small subset of problems. Googlers are living in their own universe.
