I didn't say that. I was just astonished that in a long thread about handling
exceptional conditions, nobody had mentioned . . . exceptions. Clearly, either
unfamiliarity (perhaps because not many laguages provide them - as you point
out, Go does not), or not top of mind.

Seems to me exceptions are quite mainstream: CLU, C++, Java, C#,
JavaScript, Python all have them. Arguably Go too, in the form of
panic/recover.

Thanks for clarifying; I did know it was a possibility.

Or perhaps those happy to use gotos also tend to be those who dislike
exceptions. :-)
Anyway, I'm off-TUHS-pic so follow-ups set to goto COFF.

PL/I had them from the get-go. Microsoft added them as an extension to C.
