🎩 Oh joy, another 3-year-old blog post trying to revolutionize error handling in Go! 🤖 This time, by adding "structured errors" to a language that prefers its errors as raw and unstructured as a toddler's crayon masterpiece. 🌈 Because what Go really needed was more "experiments" in making simple things complicated! 😂

🚀 Ah yes, Go's infamous labyrinth of #indirection strikes again! 🎯 Our brave hero battles valiantly with the io.Reader interface, only to discover their cherished bytes lost in a sea of over-engineered #complexity. 🌀 Spoiler: they could've just used the bytes directly, but where's the fun in that? 😂

🚪👋 Ian Lance Taylor says goodbye to Google after only 19 years and a side project called Go that no one's ever heard of 🤔. Apparently, he's been blessed to work with some obscure names like Rob Pike and Ken Thompson 🙄. Who knew Go would become “just another programming language”? 🎉

The cost of Go's panic and recover — https://jub0bs.com/posts/2025-02-28-cost-of-panic-recover/

The cost of Go's panic and recover :: jub0bs.com

TL;DR ¶ Some of the wisdom contained in Josh Bloch’s Effective Java book is relevant to Go. panic and recover are best reserved for exceptional circumstances. Reliance on panic and recover can noticeably slow down execution, incurs heap allocations, and precludes inlining. Internal handling of failure cases via panic and recover is tolerable and sometimes beneficial. Abusing Java exceptions for control flow ¶ Even though my Java days are long gone and Go has been my language of predilection for a while, I still occasionally revisit Effective Java, Joshua Bloch’s seminal and award-winning book, and I never fail to rediscover nuggets of wisdom in it.
