How is a panic crashing a program a bad thing?

Panics are not Exceptions. They usually are the result of something happening that should crash the program.

Yes, "usually", but not always. That's why Go has a mechanism to handle a panic with the `recover` function. The issue is more on the inability of handling a panic in a "foreign" goroutine.
