- delhanty 10y agoThanks for the link. I hadn't read the interview, though I had read the following by Eric Lippert where he references it: https://ericlippert.com/2014/03/03/living-with-unchecked-exceptions/ https://ericlippert.com/2014/03/03/living-with-unchecked-exc... I'm not really a fan of checked exceptions either for the reasons that Anders Hejlsberg outlines in the interview. However, the bit where he writes: "I'm a strong believer that if you don't have anything right to say, or anything that moves the art forward, then you'd better just be completely silent and neutral, as opposed to trying to lay out a framework." Isn't that exactly what has happened with unchecked exceptions in C++ and C#? They've added complexity compared with C style error codes, without actually moving the art forward.
