On: How to start a Go project in 2023

I'm tired of people saying that there is no magic. How are you saying that? Do you any basis? Named returns, compiler not ensuring that non pointer receivers do not modify a property, bare bones dependency management, laughable implementation of errors, the list goes on...

None of that qualifies as magic. Indicators of magic features are implicitness, action-at-a-distance, high complexity.

[wizhi → rochak]

How is the implementation of errors "laughable"? An error is just another result of calling a function. Seems reasonable enough.
