gollark: I disagree, actually, it's much more verbose and loses information.
gollark: Yes, but it won't because there are consistent and good standards for it which cover the common usecases.
gollark: With Go, you at least have to just copypaste `if err != nil { return err }` in all locations.
gollark: Documented yes, consistent no.
gollark: In C the error might be a negative integer return or might be just randomly set in some global or whatever.
