Macros are another can of worms. Even if they're AST-aware like in Rust, you can do very complicated stuff with them and they are very hard to read/write/debug. This would kill the advantage that it's very hard to write obscure Go code.
But it's very easy to spread that Go code into tens of Kloc.
The amount of error handling and if constructs make me feel as if I am readying assembly: predictable AF, but it doesn't help because the volume of the code is huge.
var a = n1;
if a < n2 {
a = n2
}
var a = max(n1, n2)
I still want something more powerful for error handling like a type that if it is ever assigned non-nil the method returns immediately.
var err autoreturn error
rslt, err = pkg.MaybeError()Design choice. You can't have both.
