gollark: It's meant to encode the idea of the thing *or* an error being returned, but it doesn't; there's nothing in the type preventing you from just returning two things, or zero things.
gollark: (also, like many Go things it is not well integrated with anything else; the multiple returns aren't first class like python tuples, you can't unpack them into function calls, etc)
gollark: I like the basic concept, you can do fun stuff with it, but using them for error handling like that is not great.
gollark: You can also just use sshfs for mounting a remote filesystem over SSH.
gollark: I feel like people are mostly awful at actually being neutral and objective.
