On: An Open Letter to the Go Team About Try

[codr7]

Unconditionally returning on errors all the way has exactly the same effect. Arguing that it's wrong isn't very constructive given that everyone seems to be doing it.

panic() is just another symptom of the same disease.

Exceptions are a very useful tool, and so is pattern matching and support for multiple returns. There is no one true way to handle errors.

No, an uncaught exception crashes the program. I guess you can generically catch all exceptions and get the same affect.

Not sure what you mean here

Never said there was. I only made a comment that `try` does not fix how people are handling errors.
