PROPOSAL: Change the printing order of the Error() method #201

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Right now it prints in format msg: cause and i think it should be in reverse order. After all, msg is the clarification of the cause error, so it's only logical for it to go last, not first.

I’m sorry, we can’t change the format now. However undesirable people are parsing it.

Perhaps some sort of config for printing order? With default value being current method. That would make the changes backwards compatible

I’m sorry but no. With the inclusion of any errors package in Go 1.13 you should send your feature requests to the go team.
