On: Why use strace in 2023? [video]

Exactly! Throwing away the call stack before deciding how to handle the error is not ideal.

I've honestly never needed it when dealing an error, the fact that errors are handled near where they occur means a stack is rarely needed.

If you bubble up errors a lot then errors.Is/As is made for that purpose.

You really only care about a stack trace with a panic.

In anycase, runtime.Stack() iirc should return the stack.

But this sounds more like trying to write other languages in Go rather than writing in Go.
