it's too verbose, yet not explicit.

you need to know the conventions to spot what's not there (did you miss the error handling? or the magic comment for the whatever codegen serializer? c'est la vie!)

edit: just a few comments below an even better description of what I'm trying to convey: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48264853

Disagree, if you miss the error handling the code won’t compile (unless you return _, which should be easy to spot)

The magic comment stuff is very much “do it once” and it’s done (for example if using go generate).
