Go has panics, which is essentially exceptions with a different name. Failure to handle all panics will lead to process termination, as with unhandled exceptions.

To be fair, their general use is discouraged unless you want the process to terminate. Not that you can't do that in other languages, but the culture in Go seems to prefer returning error codes.
