@kelseyhightower First Week with Go: "Gezz, this error handling is annoying" First Month with Go: "Ah, no prob, I'll just panic(err)" First Month + 1 day with Go: "That was a terrible idea" First Year with Go: "Go's error handling is BEST THING EVER, how did I ever use anything else"

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower I'm 10 months 18 days in and I'm still firmly still in the Go's error handling is annoying camp. What happens at the 1 year mark to change that opinion? Explicit error propagation is nice but Zig and Rust have a nicer solution IMO

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower Second year: hmm why is everyone telling me to use Rust instead Third year: Result<T, E> is the way

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower Ya, error handling is nice in Go. I usually extend it a bit more…. Define a type for error and then with a few extra functions on that type, it becomes: if response.IsError() { return }

@CaffeineForCode @matryer @kelseyhightower The moment it first saves your back in production, you start appreciating it ;) I’ve had the exact same mental journey. Now, every time I’m dealing with try-catch in Java, I’m frowning at it.

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower I liked it from the start, it makes code way cleaner and you actually know where the error occurred.

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower initially i hated Go's error handling, but after a while i felt that, this is one of the best ways to handle errors in many different situations

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower I am at step 4. OOC, what are your reasons?.

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower Can you help me skip a couple months and tell me why it's the best ever cause GAHHHH

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower Word.

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower i don't believe it 🙈

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower Come on, Rust error handling is much better and you know it 😤

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower Tends to make function bodies long. Portrait screen does not work for everyone. 😉

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower First try with Rust: “Damn, Result<> types are far more comfortable and safe”

@kelseyhightower @ThePrimeagen thoughts?

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower 💯

@CaffeineForCode @kelseyhightower Especially after you understand modules and now you have that one redundant utils package for every project that makes things easier.
