Multiple error wrapping is coming in Go 1.20
The only remaining use-case I see here looks like https://github.com/uber-go/multierr , maybe useful in concurrent scenarios. But on my side this is rather anecdotical, and anyway already addressed by a well documented and tested third party.

Return multiple dependent errors in Go?
There are a few libraries that solve this problem. One is https://github.com/uber-go/multierr , another https://github.com/hashicorp/go-multierror . They have similar APIs and are pretty easy to use. If you don't want to import another library, it's pretty easy to do something similar yourself, inspired by them. 😊

Show HN: Error return traces for Go, inspired by Zig
Can you explain why we should this over https://github.com/pkg/errors?

Cant wait for less verbose error handling
The pkg/errors package offers some nice add-ons for easier error handling. Too bad it was put into maintenance mode pending whatever changes/improvements are coming in Go 2.

isse for go path in neovim
I can't figure out the issue so here for some help, I am using `neovim/nvim-lspconfig` my `gopls` doesn't recognise external paths such as `github.com/pkg/errors` , it throws error`could not import github.com/pkg/errors (cannot find package "github.com/pkg/errors" in any of /usr/local/go/src/github.com/pkg/errors (from $GOROOT) /Users/ra compiler (BrokenImport)\`

What am I supposed to be doing with errors?
Also - there are some error handling utils that allow you to wrap errors before passing: https://github.com/pkg/errors

Go error handling is not verbose but the error handling itself.
Should've been something like errors.Newf("failed to foofoo %s", foo) instead and preferably never invent %w but have some controlled way to wrap like errors.Wrapf(err, "failed to foofoo %s", foo) that was in ye olde github.com/pkg/errors.

How to wrap the error best?
Prefer using errors.Wrap and errors.Wrapf from https://github.com/pkg/errors . It's frozen because they don't want to add features, waiting for a re-write of error handling in Go2.

Getting at the type of error after it has been wrapped with errors.Wrap
Im using zerolog and in order to get the stack trace for my error I have to wrap my error in errors.Wrap from "github.com/pkg/errors".

When ia a good time to panic?
And for "real programs" you can use https://github.com/pkg/errors (if you want stack traces)
What are some alternatives?

zerolog - Zero Allocation JSON Logger
errors - clear go error wrapping with caller
autoflags - Populate go command line app flags from config struct
go-xerrors - The go-xerrors is an idiomatic and lightweight package that provides a set of functions to make working with errors easier.
