I'm not worried about people who have learned Go getting turned off by inaccurate comments about it not having exceptions, I'm concerned about people who might read your piece before learning much on their own. If people believe your claim that Go has no exceptions and that multi-level error handling in your own code has to be done the way you described, that could turn people off of Go whether they like the standard library or not (and before they even decide whether to try it at all.)
