       If you are complaining about the `if err != nil { return err }` pattern in #Go, you are doing it wrong. You are almost always supposed to wrap errors (`return fmt.Errorf("cannot do X: %w", err)`). This is how you get these precise error messages that are so useful.

       @galdor Still, it takes 3 lines.

       @veer66 @galdor I always liked golang's deliberate and explicit error handling.I use this helper library so I can gather errors as I go, but only care about any one of them failing.I haven't used golang much since the new error wrapping happened so I don't know it it's still idiomatic.https://codeberg.org/pkw/any/src/branch/main/any.go

       @pkw Me too. I like that it is clear. However , it lacks of brevity. @galdor

       @veer66 @pkw Yes Go is verbose, no argument here. Never said I loved the language. But I liked getting things done.As for the library linked above, it's idiomatic to avoid piling up non-standard libraries ;) But as usual, your code, your choices; who cares if it's idiomatic or not?
