Go 1.6 is Released
I&#x27;ve been writing some gocode recently and huge chunk of code is<p><i>if err != nil ...</i><p>I know you can do if ; err!=nil but that not that much better and you end up in deeply nested if blocks.<p>i have to mentally block  out err !=nil to read any gocode linearly.  How is this acceptable, I don&#x27;t get it.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.golang.org&#x2F;errors-are-values" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.golang.org&#x2F;errors-are-values</a><p><i>We recently scanned all the open source projects we could find and discovered that this snippet occurs only once per page or two</i><p>This seems false from my experience, def way more than 1 or 2 instances per page.
