I see unwrap used all of the time on things that could be recoverable if people bothered to write the control flow. “Meh, let the program crash” is easier because unwrap is much less verbose than the match unpacking or carrying results to callers.

Rust has exceptions, they are just named Result and people just as frequently decide not to handle error results as not catch exceptions in my experience.

Typed exceptions are just as good as what rust offers IMO.
