There are expressions such as:

Where there are multiple values returned, but they can be assigned to a single value context, with unsuccessful conditions causing a panic instead.

Can I make my own function work like that, allowing it to be used in a single value context and panicking on errors?

did you find the answer? – Atreyagaurav Dec 06 '19 at 06:06
@Atreyagaurav I am not sure if that has changed now, but at the time of me asking the answer was no. That was not a behavior you could write yourself. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28487036/return-map-like-ok-in-golang-on-normal-functions – Mihail Malostanidis Dec 09 '19 at 14:35
Thanks, I got it. I was really curious because i had never seen such return in any other language. – Atreyagaurav Dec 10 '19 at 05:44
