> the absence of checked exceptions or Either

It seems an unpopular opinion, but I like Checked Exceptions and wish more languages had them. Most of the "problems" people mention about CEs boil down to the damage done by lazy developers who don't want to think of separation-of-concerns/decoupling/layering in their own code, and that can be curbed by better syntactic sugar.
