There are reasons to be stuck with exceptions. Go is a no go, due 
to constant if else error checking it forces user to do. 
Exceptions perfectly represent exceptional cases that can be 
handled if caller wants to. Littering every method with tuples as 
return values and method calls with if checking is even worse 
than performance costs of how currently exceptions are 
implemented.

The point is, not all code is required to be performant, some of 
it, can use exceptions for code and logic readability at cost of 
performance downgrade.
