The case against exceptions is unfair to Java, whose model is CHECKED exceptions. Of course, people hate them, but they are semantically equivalent to the new proposed solution, which is itself much better than current error handling in Go, which is frankly horrid. I must admit the check/handle mechanism is syntactically more pleasant though, avoiding surrounding code with try/catch.
