Exactly. Being forced to handle errors at every function call sounds great, but then you end being forced to bubble up errors you don't care about like Go does:

    res, err := func()
    if err != nil:
        return nil, err

That's not actually handling the error, and exceptions save you from being forced to pretend like you are. Just let it bubble up into the catch block further up the stack.
