Go has panics. You can unwind them, and recover from them. Using these for control flow is heavily discouraged and therefore it's rarely ever an issue, but they are a type of exception handling, or at least very close to that.

Also worth noting is that while they are discouraged, the very same Go devs who discouraged this pattern chose to use it in the standard library for basic things.

Rust has panics too, which also unwind, and you can also recover from them; they are also a type of exception handling. Unless the project was compiled with panic=abort, in which case they don't unwind at all and you can't recover from them; the existence of the panic=abort option means one cannot reliably use them for control flow, which makes it harder to abuse. But even then, you still have to make sure your code is "panic safe" when writing library code (usually through clever use of RAII guards, instead of expecting the code flow to always reach the end of a function).
