It's worth mentioning that the syntax optimization question (which is
what you're talking about, really) is a separate question from the
"exceptions or error-codes" question.  There's no reason you couldn't
make up a language that has a try-like syntax but uses error codes.
Java, if modified to enforce the stronger call-site checking I've
described, would be such a language.
