I don't agree neither :). Exceptions don't necessarily lost context. At least in Python. In my previous job, whenever a python exception raise, the code will catch it, with values of each variable, formatted in a beautiful html, and send as an email. You can never overestimate how much time it has saved us to debug. Go's approach to error handling remind me of the old COM days, while you handle error after each function call. I'm glad it's no longer popular.
