Oh, now I remember why I completely lost faith in the Go language 
designers.

I asked for asserts, and they absolutely refused and said that 
they would never add asserts because some programmers might use 
it to handle errors... therefore nobody should have them.

So, not having exceptions makes error-handling so tedious that 
some programmers will use asserts to check errors... therefore Go 
also could not have asserts.

Completely backwards and arcane mentality? I think so.
