oh god, go code is so stupid to read b/c theres error handling 
everywhere mixed with code logic. i'm all for adding multiple 
return values, aka tuples, but exceptions are by far the best 
error handling method by readability. also you are forced to 
catch them and you got stack traces, which is super useful.
