Yeah, every single newbie programming language designer starts with a maximalist position of "exceptions are hard, just return an error code", and then end up inventing their own shitty, ad-hoc and malfeatured exception handling system.

I want off this ride.





Go seems to do alright without exceptions. It’s just a convention to return errors, which seems fine as a practice.
