...and you can? try-catch is usually less ergonomic than the various ways you can inspect a Result.

    try {
      data = some_sketchy_function();
    } catch (e) {
      handle the error;
    }

    result = some_sketchy_function();
    if let Err(e) = result {
      handle the error;
    }

    data = some_sketchy_function();

    data = some_sketchy_function().UNWRAP_OR_PANIC();

What I suspect you mean, because it's a better argument, is:

    try {
        sketchy_function1();
        sketchy_function2();
        sketchy_function3();
        sketchy_function4();
    } catch (e) {
        ...
    }
