I have been seeing this pattern repeated over and over since I started using Go in 2014 where people think they should be “building my favorite missing feature” — whether that’s futures, generics, structural processes, OTP, version managers, package managers, or now apparently exceptions. I always get the sense that the authors think they’ve done something cool and helpful when in the first place if they had simply put more effort into comprehending the simple “Go way” it wouldn’t have been necessary at all, and the needed functionality would have fallen out of the design.
