It seems odd to assume he has that opinion because of lack of experience, considering we're discussing a language developed by people like Rob Pike, who share his opinion on error handling and can hardly be described as unexperienced.

And people like Ken Thompson.

Accusing the author of this article of being "inexperienced" is also very amusing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Graham-Cumming

And even Java and C++ luminaries like Bruce Eckel have come out in support of Go's error handling and against exceptions.

Not sure that I deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Ken Thompson.
