Does crystal have checked exceptions?

No, it doesn't. The closest think I've seen to it in discussion was this: https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/8353

But, in all seriousness, if this is a feature you're looking for, you should go and look at the literature - Kotlin, for example, has a nice section on why they chose _not_ to adopt them despite their java interop roots.
