Why Go's Error Handling Is Awesome
1. In Java you have both checked and unchecked exceptions so you have the option to force the developer to handle the error explicitly or not. With Go there is no choice.<p>2. Compared to something like ZIO (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;zio.dev" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;zio.dev</a>) from the Scala world, Go&#x27;s error handling is amateurish. With ZIO you represent your methods as such:<p><pre><code>  def fetchFromDB: IO[DatabaseError, MyObject]
</code></pre>
Now DatabaseError can be anything e.g. an exception, a string, an enum, a custom error class or even nothing at all if there will never be an error. Now you can chain functions together transforming errors along the way as if they were normal values. Both powerful and elegant.
