So, in the end all of languages move closer to StandardML :D Like even python has sum-types and pattern matching now!

Indeeed,

    func ThrowIfError(err error) {
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
    }
    // ....
    name, err := FuncWithError()
    ThrowIfError(err)

Panic and recover already exist, which are semantically exceptions.
