If only node had exception handling and functions!

Node has - for me - the same problem as C#. Unchecked exceptions on every corner. You don't even know what can explode until it explodes. And then takes your Node instance down. But I am one of these weirdos who likes checked exceptions in Java, so maybe this is not a problem for others.

The same problem as C#? You're fighting a very old position.

Exception handling in C# is amazingly good, you can't run C# production level apps.

It suffers none of the problems that are being discussed above. All you're doing is confusing the discussion with a view point I haven't heard in a decade.
