The error handling in still leaves a lot to be desired. `if err != nil` repeated ad infinitum in a codebase is bad... but not whinging about unhandled errors is worse imo.

Rust's is okay (I much prefer it to Go's way), but it's not perfect. Making new error types can be annoying and a bit boilerplatey for example. I definitely think they made the right choice going with a tagged union of multiple returns like Go did.
What in particular do you struggle with syntax wise?
let x = foo()?;
Is pretty much the same as:
x, err := foo()
if err != nil {
return err
}

A simple thing: trying to read each line in a file, split them by a space, and return a two-element vector for each line. I’ll send you some code when I’m back at my machine.
