Agenda

• 5:30 - 6:00 - Meet, Greet, and Eat! (Food & Beer Provided)

• 6:30 - 7:00 - Speaker: Brian Wilke

Go error handling is fast, simple, and cheap. Except when you have to capture an error from every function call. And except when someone forgets to capture an error three function calls deep and now your function is failing and you have no idea why. And except when a library's code panics deep in a channel handler's bowels and brings down your entire program. In this talk, we'll explore the problems Wireless Registry encountered with idiomatic go error handling at scale and our solution to it: a terribly non-idiomatic, goroutine-based exception library, providing "try-catch"-style exception handling, c-style errno-like exception handling, and even idiomatic go error checking if you're into that.

About the speaker: Brian Wilke has professionally programmed in almost every language there is and is thus very confused and has no opinions anymore. He currently programs in go for high-performance, low-cost, massively-scaled data processing. He is a Colorado native, but he doesn't brag about it or anything.
