You could, but the point is that the stacktrace is useless in most apps (unless you have stateless minimalist website). As soon as you make a web app and you have state - stacktrace doesn't help reproduce the bug.

What's an example of a reasonable language that has state? I figured you had to be thinking of a pure functional language.

Python, Ruby... the concern isn't so much state as that it throws the exception where the mistake actually happens instead of failing silently.
