Well, then you might like Nim for writing small CLI utilities. It just defaults to a console-friendly traceback on uncaught exceptions. cligen makes pretty nice CLIs pretty easy. (If you set up a $HOME/.cligen then you can get a shared colorized help / customization for any such utility, for example. So, set & forget kinda thing, maybe even making useful programs in as few as 3..7 lines of code, really.) It's not an experience without rough edges (though I'm not sure what is such an experience). So, probably depends on your priorities.
