Hey, I forgot to reply, but still wanted to quickly respond and to say - thank you for the detailed response, I concede your points are valid, and your perspective seems to be more accurate (with regards to incorporating nuance + reality fit) :)

> Javascript also uses basic stack unwinding. Would you also say Javascript doesn't have exceptions or exception handlers?

No, I wouldn't, so re: that - fair point;

For me, Go's error+panic lack of propagation + lack of exception type hierarchy are what stick out and seem vastly different to "typical"; and this does impact development, especially propagation mechanism / lack thereof. But I also haven't written lots of Go code, and could be possibly lacking experience, and am just looking from "typical" language lens (Java (not JS), Python, from my PoV)?
