Thirteen Years of Go

It is good to be forced to recognize errors and manually send them up the stack. Too many programmers have a "not my problem" attitude about errors.

1. Immediately when the error occurs, send it to logging with all required data to find the exact point of failure + data to understand the "why".

2. Send the error up the stack.

If you do these two things, your systems written in golang will be resilient.

So rely on the programmer countering their laziness instead of having these things the default in the language also known as exceptions?

Exceptions are a nightmare.

That’s your subjective opinion.
