[buug] [OT][Bait] Golang, Python, exceptions

[Ian Zimmerman]

I keep hearing (including the last meeting) how most new Go programmers
seem to be former Python programmers, to the surprise of Go leaders.
Presumably they're attracted mainly by the easy and efficient
multithreading in Go.  But when I think of it exceptions are a big part
of why much Python code seems relatively easy on the eye [1], and Go
infamously lacks exceptions.  So how do the migrants cope?  Can one
really switch back to checking error conditions literally every second
line, after experiencing the liberating feeling of exceptions?  Or had
these people never been at home in Python in the first place?

Not all Python code, of course (**COUGH** SQLAlchemy **COUGH**)
