The only reason why you should ever need to catch exceptions is to print
error messages, or to protect your program from crashing when doing
something dangerous (e.g. calling a external library), especially in Lua,
where errors are generally strings not objects.
You'll hate Python, then.
I am an ex-Pythonista who admired its compactness, orthogonality
and coherence, but was appalled by its profuseness and dependence
on whitespace. Lua to me combined Python's strengths while avoiding
its defects.
