Hyrum's Law in Golang

1. go

   1 2,197 125,108 10.0 Go

   The Go programming language

   

   To be fair to those projects, the type was introduced only three years ago:

   https://github.com/golang/go/pull/49359/files

   Before that, doing a string compare was basically the only way to detect that specific error. That was definitely an omission on the part of the original authors of the stdlib code; I don't it should be classified as "Hyrum's Law".

   Nope, exceptions in Python are not the same. There are a lot of standard exceptions

   https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#concrete-e...

   and standard about exception type hierarchy

   https://peps.python.org/pep-0249/#exceptions

   Also in most languages "catch Exception:" (or similar expression) is considered a bad style. People are taught to catch specific exceptions. Nothing like that happens in Go.
