Doesn't this style of writing assume that there are a lot of arguments to
be passed to function which I think is not a good practice since it makes
it much harder to remember what the function does and how to call and most
importantly, how to debug it when becomes necessary?
So, if there are a lot of arguments to be passed to the function, it is
best to redesign it and use a data structure that encapsulates the
arguments. Otherwise, what is wrong with this?
// Great is a really great function anArg does this and anotherArg does
that.
func Great(anArg int, anotherArg string) (err error) {
return nil
}
