See my other comment for this article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45864463 I believe that for today's large software which has multiple engineers, possibly not even working in the same group, involved in the final product, the key problem of exceptions (knowing what is or is not an "exceptional" situation for the software) is not soluble in the general case. Exceptions are a clever idea if you're a solo writing a soup to nuts piece of software, say the firmware for a thermostat, but are too flawed for the library author or the app developer. |
