&gt; Go doesn&#x27;t have exceptions<p>Go has panics, which are pretty much the same thing as exceptions in other languages (the details of how they are used are slightly different from, say, Java&#x2F;Python&#x2F;Ruby exceptions, but much more than, say, Perl 6 exceptions.)<p>Go has a strong stylistic recommendation not to expose panics to external consumers of code, and it is idiomatic to instead use error returns from publicly-exposed library code. But &quot;Go doesn&#x27;t have exceptions&quot; is mostly misleading.
