I'm aware of their rationales, what I'm saying is that they don't make sense and are dismissive, and have no studies at all to back them up. It's there in the first link you posted for example, "we believe exceptions lead to convoluted code". Belief here is not sufficient, it must be conclusively shown that it's otherwise, especially given that subjectively speaking it is possible in golang for errors to slip and not be handled at all (I saw it in real code bases), much much worse than any "convoluted" code that exceptions may result in (again it's very subjective - the way golang handles errors results in much longer code that's harder to follow).
