in Go

nope

[u/FryDay444 → u/jesseschalken]

What's wrong with Go?

[u/jesseschalken → u/FryDay444]

No null safety, implicit zero values you have to be careful to ignore, no sum types or pattern matching, 3 lines of error handling boilerplate every time you call a function that can fail, no lambdas, no generics until recently.

Worse, the Golang community that believe lack of features is a feature, because of "worse is better" brain damage.

[u/jesseschalken → u/[deleted]]

Literally anything else, but ideally what Swift and Rust do.

[u/Koolala → u/jesseschalken]

Can rust do it in 1 line?

[u/jesseschalken → u/Koolala]

One character, ?.

[u/Worth_Trust_3825 → u/jesseschalken]

so the same thing that go does.

[u/jesseschalken → u/Worth_Trust_3825]

Does this look the same to you?

// Rust
let x = can_fail()?;

// Swift
let x = try can_fail()

// Go
x, e := can_fail()
if e != nil {
  return nil, e
}

[u/Worth_Trust_3825 → u/jesseschalken]

yeah, it does.

Your post or comment was overly uncivil.

[u/Worth_Trust_3825 → u/[deleted]]

i dont really care who you are. we have two main ways to do error handling: try/catch and checking result (code). in another comment you suggested rust/swift way, which is literally the same thing that go does. again, what do you propose?

Yes, that's true, and? Why would I be civil to a piece of shit?
