To be fair, though, error handling is terrible in every language, independent of how much the designers think about it.

Let's not flirt with false equivalences. I've seen languages that do error handling worse than Go. I've also seen languages that do better.

Seriously. For the amount people glaze Rust on HN, error handling when you actually try to use Rust is overtly discussed as "oh yeah it's completely broken, most people try to replace the whole thing..."

Huh? I find error handling in Rust to be quite nice to use. You do probably want to use thiserror to make it easier to define the Error type for your crate, but other than that it's super smooth IMO.
