go

Go code is full of variations of

1if err != nil {
2    return err
3}

which affects the readability of code

1val, err := doThing()
2if err != nil {
3    return err 
4}
5
6bar, err := foo(val)
7if err != nil {
8    return err
9}

lift or abstract error

1func signupHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
2    s := newSignupRequest(w,r)
3    s.validate()
4    s.checkNewRegistration()
5    s.register()
6    s.sellEmailToRecruiter()
7    s.log()
8    s.response()
9}

don't actually do this, but its encouraging you to think about the shape of your code. Use types to make the shapes simpler, to cope with complex code.
