I think one of the big takeaways from Haskell for me was that errors don't always need to be explicitly handled. Sometimes returning a safe sentinel value is enough.

For example, if the function call returns some data collection, returning an empty collection can be a safe way to allow the program to continue in the case of something unexpected. I don't need to ABORT. I can let the program unwind naturally as all the code that would work on that collection would realise there's nothing to do.

Debugging that can be a pain, but traces and logging tend to fix that.
