On: Go 1.8 Release Notes

[spullara]

It isn't less noisy. With exceptions I can choose to have no noise or concentrate all the noise in one part of the method. In Go there is junk all over the method deeply conflating the good path and the exceptional path.

[majewsky → spullara]

If you add exceptions, you trade noise for action-at-a-distance. From my experience, I prefer a little noise over action-at-a-distance.

[h1d → majewsky]

Everything is already at a distance when you load libraries and bundle up your commonly used functions elsewhere.

DRY principle seems not applicable here.
