I agree. The syntax for useless error handling is indeed more verbose than Rust (a whole if block Vs a single ?) but the difference when you actually do proper error handling and add a useful context message is much smaller.
You could argue that’s a good thing because it encourages writing proper error handling code.
I’ve seen plenty of Rust code with only? which leads to really bad error messages. I’ve seen Rust errors in complex programs that are literally just Could not open file or directory - no context, no filename. Go definitely has better error messages on average.
That said I still prefer Rust’s error handling, and writing Rust in general.
