Those are very different things, whatever you want to call them. check/handle doesn't involve unwinding the stack, and doesn't default to crashing your program if you forget to add a handle block.
Yes, because instead your program won’t compile if you forget to handle an error ( except in the case of a function which only returns error, which you can ignore by mistake - I would like to see that fixed in go 2 as well).
Since they’re calling it go 2 perhaps they could just make an exception for println by having an alternative with no error (like map access with k,ok or just k).
