Hah, I have a bookmark on the CL approach I've been meaning to get to for months now. I guess I'll have to give it another whirl.

Ack, and your sibling comment is pointing me to a monadic approach... I'm sure "learn about monads" is also languishing on my to-do list somewhere.

Do you have a link to the CL approach?

Edit: A quick search turn up this interesting LtU discussion: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1544

I'm on a different computer now, but iirc the one I have bookmarked is http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/beyond-exception-handling-co...

Thanks for your link too.

This entire book is a really good into to CL.

There was a great thread in a previous discussion on HN about error handling that had a reply from lkrubner (currently, and likely forever, the top response on that thread) that went into some detail, causing more ensuing discussion. (edit: Ah, and then he links to that same article you linked to!)
