Go's multiple return at least makes that simpler than C, you don't have to remember to check a global error code, and there are no magic return codes multiplexed with the expected response.

But the fundamental difference is that if you have code that does

    a()
    b()
    c()

then you can guarantee that a() will be executed, then b(), then c(). And if there are any branches in case of errors, they will be explicit. Exceptions surround every statement with the possibility of an unannounced exit.
