They don't seem to understand Go much at all. Comparisons to Rust are somewhat misplaced but that's a different topic... Back to errors. Errors are interface values. They are simple yet powerful. You can create sentinel errors that can be wrapped or just passed to be checked then discarded. Go has all the functionality it needs to provide what ever it is Rust cult members believe makes Rust error handling so great. You can use the primitive constructs Go provides to do nearly the same damn things Rust can do and it won't look like a pile of hieroglyphs your local crackhead would draw. Best of all... Its simple and the syntax of Go (veering off topic) doesn't make me want to jump off a bridge. Stop gaslighting yourselves into thinking Rust syntax is reasonable and that its some perfectly proven language with all edge cases put to rest..
