  > Pretty sure Go doesn't have throw/catch. Go has panic/recover, which are basically exceptions with some different scoping rules.

  'panic' is pretty much that.
• AndyKelley 6y ago
  not only is panic/recover identical to throw/catch but with non-standard names, it is used in the go standard library.

    throw/catch is more readable, because panic/recover doesn’t switch on type and isn’t block scoped (the defer stack is set up at runtime, which also can’t be good for the optimizer).

      that's sort of a feature though, since it makes it less likely to be used ;-) rust, i believe, can also recover from panics, but it's even less ergonomic, which makes it even more of a feature zig goes to the extreme and makes panics completely unrecoverable, tho it's unclear how practical that is for e.g. long running servers w/ many clients interesting discussion here: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/3516 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/3516
