Nothingburger here, you had a bug, and you fixed it.

All is well, no need to question your language or the meaning of life.

When you make a mistake irl or trip over when walking, do you reconsider you DNA and submit a patch to God?

Sometimes you just gotta have faith in the language and assume it like an axiom, to avoid wasting energy fighting windmills.

I'm not a deep Go programmer, but I really enjoy how it's highly resistant to change and consistent across it's 15 years so far.
