Go's mechanism of error handling is for me a horrible regression to
1960's programming. However, the feedback from those who really have
"drunk the Kool-Aid" is interesting: the tension between the way of
working and number of error in released systems does appear to indicate
that they may be getting many fewer errors. However some of the tortuous
argumentation about how the coding of error is the right way forward
does smack a bit of Stockholm Syndrome.
