errors

Fork of xerrors with explicit Wrap instead of %w.

Clear is better than clever.

go get github.com/go-faster/errors

errors.Wrap(err, "message")

Why

• Using Wrap is the most explicit way to wrap errors
• Wrapping with fmt.Errorf("foo: %w", err) is implicit, redundant and error-prone
• Parsing "foo: %w" is implicit, redundant and slow
• The pkg/errors and xerrrors are not maintainted
• The cockroachdb/errors is too big
• The errors has no caller stack trace

Don't need traces?

Call errors.DisableTrace or use build tag noerrtrace.

Migration
