Go? I like it but the error checking and the way it simulates objects oriented programming via struct and receiver is disgusting to look at

idk what's wrong with that, it has one of the best syntax and structs are good when you adapt yourself to it

"one of the best syntax" according to which parameters? It is personal preference after all, isn't it?
The error management is horrible to read, for example, I find more readibletl try catches, rather than checking all the time if error not nil.

I do like plenty of new things, is just go syntax that makes me puke.
Why are you taking this so personally? lol
It's just a personal opinion

Usually those who don't appreciate Golang's syntax are immediately sent by pro gophers to go learn some computer science, lol. Buncha weirdos in the net!
