Exceptions are hidden control flow. Change my mind.

I see a lot of TypeScript repos here (rustic-types, etc) trying to bring explicit error handling back. Good.

In Go, if err != nil is a feature, not boilerplate. It forces you to acknowledge that things fail. Exceptions let you pretend the happy path is the only path until it isn't.

What's the best pattern you've seen in dynamic languages to avoid try/catch spaghetti?
