Nobody who has ever written error handling in Go could possibly downvote this comment. Holy moly, the error checking after EVERY interesting method call. Talk about verbose.

It's useful verbosity. Java's verbosity is misplaced, which is worse.

Go's error checking is the 2020's equivalent of "Python's significant whitespace". Both are pretty common and rather shallow critiques of a language.
