I don't really understand this decision. They know from developer surveys that verbose and repetitive error handling is literally the number 1 issue. Seeking the perfection of syntax that everyone agrees on seems to be the enemy of providing some good alternative to the status quo.
Their comment about providing some new syntax and people being forced to use it seems off base to me. It's nice to not have multiple ways of doing things, but having only 2 when it comes to error handling does not seem like a big deal. I imagine people will just use their preference, and a large percentage of people will have a less verbose option if they want it.
