You can catch Rust panics with `catch_unwind()` if you compiled your program with `-Cpanic=unwind` (default on most platforms). Under the hood it uses stack unwinding, just like C++ and co, exceptions. But Rust doesn't consider this idiomatic error handling, it's only used in a few special situations (biggest ones are test frameworks, and web servers where one buggy session shouldn't take down the process).
