They didn't. Go has panic/recover. It isn't idiomatic to expose a panic in a library, but if you know you're going to be doing a lot of error handling, then you can utilize panic/recover to make error handling much terser. I do it frequently when writing parsers[1] or web applications.

That's very interesting, thanks!
