That doesn't make sense. Go errors provide exactly whatever information is relevant to the error. The error type is an interface for good reason. The only limiting bound on the information that can be provided is by what the computer can hold at the hardware level.

If a string is all your error is, you're doing something horribly wrong.

Or, at very least, are trying to shoehorn Go into scripting tasks, of which it is not ideally suited for. That's what Python is for! Python was decidedly intended for scripting. Different tools for different jobs.

Go was never designed to be a scripting language. But should you, for some odd reason, find a reason to use in that that capacity, you should at least being using its exception handlers (panic/recover) to find some semblance of scripting sensibility. The features are there to use.

Which does seem to be the source of your confusion. You still seem hung up on thinking that we're talking about scripting. But clearly that's not true. Like before, if we were, we'd be looking at using Go's exception handlers like a scripting language, not the patterns it uses for systems. These are very different types of software with very different needs. You cannot reasonably conflate them.
