Ent. An Entity Framework for Go

Why doesn't GO have a try-catch blocks? Every file I see have dozens similar lines:

if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }

In C# I can just log error on one place and transaction will be automatically rolled back. Much less code.

There have been tons of discussions and proposals regarding error handling boilerplate [0][1], and the general consensus is that go developers like the explicitness of `if err != nil` and just want to leave it be [2]

There are years of discussion on error handling topics or you could use a package to simplify your code: https://itnext.io/golang-error-handling-best-practice-a36f47...

Go made the design decision to encourage checking for errors where they occur instead of catching exceptions somewhere down the line.
