Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?

Not that I like go at all but because of it my C++ is starting to look like it as I am returning tuples of [result, error].

I try to avoid exceptions, is there any better ways? (Variant looks a bit more complicated but could be a totally OK alternative)

Personally I feel go has many issues and is ugly as hell but the error handling is really the least of my worries.
