The biggest problem with the error handling is that it's not composable. It's better than unchecked exceptions, but that's not saying much.

The second problem is nil, use of which is common and doesn't enforce error handling.

I find it inconstant to be so pedantic about unused vars/imports to avoid bugs, but then leave error handling to what it is.
