That’s only true in crappy languages that have no concept of async workflows, monads, effects systems, etc.
Sad to see that an intentionally weak/limited language like Go is now the counterargument for good modeling of errors.
Can you please demonstrate how async workflows and monads resolve this issue?
Wouldn't effect systems still be considered exceptions, but handled differently?
I don't know the answer to your question, but I think that what is needed is just a bit of syntactic sugar, e.g. Rust has

for returning compatible errors without looking into them. That seems to be powered byTry
trait, that may be a monad, but I am not fluent enough to check if it formally is.
