For discussion?
Oh well, maybe in the future.
We use this technique in the Go programming language - it doesn't have a Try/Catch in the traditional sense (but there's something very similar called "panic")
db, err := database.connect()
if err != nil {
return err // return error to the caller, or panic(err) to crash
}
Panics can be recovered, so they kinda act like Try/Catch, but it's usually reserved for very specific circumstances. We usually just check the err variable.
It's common for Go programmers to do the following:
db, err := database.connect()
check(err)
In which check is a function:
func check(err error) {
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
