> In JavaScript, you can {{throw}} any object, including strings, but to get stack traces one should throw {{Errors}}.
> The generated JS code throws the error string directly, instead of wrapping it in {{new Error}}.
> Node core _only_ rejects with/throws Errors, never strings, and Thrift should follow the same standard.
> https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_class_error
> {quote}
> All errors generated by Node.js, including all System and JavaScript errors, will either be instances of, or inherit from, the Error class.
> {quote}
> PR for the change [here|https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1075].
