As I understand Swift's error handling falls straight into the explicit camp. That's all good and I love it.

My problem is that it seems it's not for everyone at every stage of their journey. When I teach software development to a musician, it's just in the way. I needed a language that works for professional developers doing low-level work, but also for citizen developers doing their first round of hacking.

Originally, I thought implicit error handling is not for me. I will add support for those who hate explicit error handling and not use it myself. I'm at a point in my journey where I started questioning the benefits of explicit error checks (ie. Swift's try keyword or ? in Boomla) when all I do is propagate errors.

I'm thinking that maybe it would be interesting to start with implicit error handling, and turn on explicitness where you need it. Existing error handling approaches don't let you do that. I see the big idea in this approach that you can turn it on incrementally, with no far reaching effects. How you handle errors is a local implementation detail of the function.

Of course we will see, I might end up sticking to the explicit model, but for now I enjoy it. Luckily, migration won't be an issue, I can just return to using explicit error handling if I change my mind, and current code will keep working as is.
