Yeah that comment about Go says it all:

It's rather amazing that given 30 years of evolution and language 
design, they've still managed to invent a new language that's as hard 
to write error-checking code in as C. Even Java's less verbose! – DK

Here's the Go example. I think Go has made a serious error in centering their 
design around error codes.
----------------------------------------
package main

import (
  "os"
  "bufio"
  "log"
)

func main() {
  file, err := os.Open("fileio.txt", os.O_RDWR | os.O_CREATE, 0666)
  if err != nil {
    log.Exit(err)
  }
  defer file.Close()

  _, err = file.Write([]byte("hello\n"))
  if err != nil {
    log.Exit(err)
  }

  _, err = file.Write([]byte("world\n"))
  if err != nil {
    log.Exit(err)
  }

  // seek to the beginning
  _, err = file.Seek(0,0)
  if err != nil {
    log.Exit(err)
  }

  bfile := bufio.NewReader(file)
  _, err = bfile.ReadBytes('\n')
  if err != nil {
    log.Exit(err)
  }

  line, err := bfile.ReadBytes('\n')
  if err != nil {
    log.Exit(err)
  }

  os.Stdout.Write(line)
}
