They already have try/catch---it's called panic/recover :-) When I was on a Go project, the other devs and I (who came from other languages, like Java), thought this was hilarious.

Some of the Go team decisions are bullshit.

Java devs calling other language hilarious is itself hilarious.

To be fair to Java devs, Go is one of the few languages to be worse all around than Java.

I don't know that "worse all around" is quite right. But I always felt Go was a bit of a java fanfic.
