I know of not a single production language that gets by without them, Go has panic/recover, Rust has <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html> in the Java/C# ecosystems it's unheard of to "ban exceptions". C offers setjmp/longjmp and even offers an async variant of exceptions in the form of signal handlers.
