I strongly agree. In principle, exceptions are a streamlined version of tossing err up the stack without any embellishment. In practice, I put cookies away in the cabinet so that I don't eat them. Humans write code, and our behaviors change in response to our surroundings. I think a lot more about failure cases in Go than Ruby. Maybe you're not like that, but you're the exception that proves the rule!
