If you think exceptions look messy as a flow chart, try conditions! It’s be like exceptions x come-from.

And yet in practice, it’s really not that confusing. Expressivity counts for more than the number of branch opcodes generated by the compiler.

It all boils down to "flaggy code" -vs- "spaghetti code" (or vexillology -vs- pastafarianism).
