  err := do_something()
  if (err != nil) {
    return nil, err
  }

  err = do_something_else()
  if (err != nil) {
    return nil, err
  }

  err = do_something_more()
  if (err != nil) {
    return nil, err
  }

...

So very concise. And this is not even including the error wrapping that is recommended.

First, this is legal:

       if err := do_something() ;err != nil {
         return nil, err
       }

Not horrible imo. But I've found that verbose error handling and explicit errors made me consider which parts of the code can return err, and reorganize code around that - with that I've been able to eliminate most 'err' from my codebase.

Like, if you go by function: ReadData(has err)-> ParseData(has err) -> ProcessData(no err)

Instead of having functions that can fail dynamically all over your codebase.
