alt Hacker News> I personally can’t wait to see what next development will never have been “against the Go philosophy” and definitely not something that gophers argued was perfect the way it was any time misguided malcontents and rabble-rousers wrongly tried to suggest the language wasn’t perfect the way it was.
I really hope it is more ergonomic error handling. Or maybe sum types/discriminated unions.

Those are fine the way they are. I don’t want the language getting more complicated. Rob Pike has said they’ll never happen. Suggestions like this are extremely against the Go way of doing things. Actually the verbosity is a good thing. It’s explicit.

They've publicly said no more language changes specifically for better error handling are coming, it will at most be the library-level improvements.
