I really wish people would stop trying to "fix" Go error handling.

Go error handling is fine. If you want a terse language, use something else. Go error semantics have been this way for over a decade, they aren't going to (and shouldn't) change. The whole point of the current syntax is so that YOU DON'T IGNORE ERRORS. People keeps saying, "BUT MY LOC", just simply don't get it. You're supposed to do something with the error, either return it up the stack, or decorate it, or log it. Go didn't choose the exception route, stop trying to bolt exceptions on, and just adapt or stop using Go.
