It's not a coincidence that Fuzzing is added to Go

I first learned of the early-return pattern when doing maintenance work on someone else's PHP site in 2003. Namely, they had never heard of it, and every single page was wrapped in a giant "if access_check then page_contents else show_error" construct (not to mention the contents themselves would meander off to the right). It was downright painful to read until that got fixed.
