You can absolutely do this in Go. In a webserver you panic and recover your goroutines for 500’s or other failures that you deem invalid states. There’s a qualitative difference between what we call 500 errors or 400 errors and it’s a good thing to handle the former by throwing exceptions or panicing and the latter with normal program flow and error values. Errors that you can sensibility handle and display are part of your domain logic, just values and functions. They should be handled and contextualised right there at the site they come up. Errors that represent invalid program states should be thrown as far as possible and handled at the edge.
