Just curious, what are some of those footguns your team is encountering? Only thing that comes to mind is the somewhat tedious error handling imposed by the language. Which language would you say had _less_ footguns than go? Or was this sarcasm and it went straight over my head?

I guess I am just bad at golang.

Loop variable pointer and nil struct is not nil interface are the two that continue to hound us.

Also:

type MyError {}

var _ error = (&MyError)(nil)

errors.As(err, &MyError{})

---

Panicking because it needs to be &&MyError{} instead is a similar gotcha.
