"I'm not sure why Julia itself should make it difficult to "do the right thing" when exceptions occur..."

Untyped, sometimes incorrect, exceptions, https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/12485 and related.

Yeah and there is already an improvement to that: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/12541. Well, anyways, I think you can easily find a lot of unsatisfactory constructs in any language, especially in young ones ;) If they outweigh the advantages is debatable. So far I've been finding satisfactory workarounds for the most daring issues, so for me the conclusion is indeed very positive.
