Golang error handling is terrible by default. The lack of sum types also make it hard to know what errors a function might return and libraries rarely wrap their errors. There also isn’t any stack trace by default which makes it hard to find the original source of the error. Check out https://github.com/rotisserie/eris. It really is a lifesaver

We received a lot of valuable feedback on our first release of eris and recently released v0.2.0 with improvements (changelog: https://github.com/rotisserie/eris/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md). * Improved the stack trace for both local and global errors * Streamlined error formatting (it's now a single call: ToString or ToJSON) * Completely rewrote our documentation and added direct comparisons to pkg/errors * Added more examples (https://godoc.org/github.com/rotisserie/eris#pkg-examples) * Added Sentry support * Bug fixes At this point, we're looking for more users and feedback so we can continue improving it!
