go basically has exceptions with panic & recover. and it’s perfectly simple to add stack traces to errors, should you want it.

That completely misses the fact that you need the providers of the code several layers away from you to make those choices and they frequently don't.

I can add stack traces and raise panics all day long in my code and it will never help me trace a deep error in my system. The collective blindness to that in the go world is staggering.
