> if the code goes boom, it's on the developer

This is the same argument C (and Zig!) people have for manual memory management. You can avoid memory problems by being a good developer.

While I have my opinions on manual memory management, I'll not open that file today (well, it may leak).

On the other hand, Go explicitly warns and tries to prevent you from ignoring or not handling possible errors. This is a bit different than a happy C compiler which doesn't warn you about leaking memory.
