Basically we can spam with ifs and elses but will there ever be try and catch in Sourcepawn?

Provide an instance where you would want to catch an exception? Everything that would fail a plugin can be guarded against already and if it isnt then you should report it.

Try Catch statements are for lazy coders.

Dont be lazy. Code in your checks where required to avoid exceptions.

I know, but it would make every Error Check some lines less
An Example SocketCreate, we could try it and wouldent need that nasty Error Callback and could catch it instead

public LetsConnect(Handle Timer)
{
	g_hSocket = SocketCreate(SOCKET_TCP, Network_OnSocketError);
}

public Network_OnSocketError(Handle socket, const errorType, const errorNum, any client)
{
	if(socket == INVALID_HANDLE)
		return;
		
	if(g_hSocket == socket)
		g_hSocket = INVALID_HANDLE;
		
	CloseHandle(socket);
	CreateTimer(10, LetsConnect, _, TIMER_HNDL_CLOSE); // Lets Retry
}

Instead we could

public LetsConnect(Handle Timer)
{
	try
		g_hSocket = SocketCreate(SOCKET_TCP, Network_OnSocketError);
		
	catch
	{
		if(socket == INVALID_HANDLE)
			return;
			
		if(g_hSocket == socket)
			g_hSocket = INVALID_HANDLE;
		
		CloseHandle(socket);
		CreateTimer(10, LetsConnect, _, TIMER_HNDL_CLOSE); // Lets Retry
	}
}

public Network_OnSocketError(Handle socket, const errorType, const errorNum, any client)
{
	// DO ONOZ
}

The error callback is there because that API is asynchronous (the error may not be available instantly), try/catch can't help you there.
