Understandable, but it's a matter of taste. For people who prefer a language with exception, it's good that there now exist a viable solution other than sticking to a language that might not fit their taste so well.

It seems to me that F# could get a bit more love from HN-style nerds. Obviously, it's more similar to C# than Golang, but specifically error handling can be done in much nicer way using the Result type.

But Go has no sum types either!

I can live with many things, but no generics in 2021? Over my dead body!
