Error/Either monads are the perfect middle ground IMHO. You get errors as data types and an efficient way to abstract away the boilerplate associated with it.

Yes, I quite liked this about Rust's `Result` and `Option` type and using monads in general but I don't think Golang could achieve this pragmatically without generics.
