		pfarnsworth on July 3, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: An Open Letter to the Go Team About Try I think "try" is a terrible name, because it overloads try/catch which is very common usage these days but it's nothing like that. It's basically a error checking macro, so give it a new name.

Rust had the try! macro before which is similar, the name is fine I think.
