They listened to the part of the community that agrees with you. I'm "community" and I would prefer to have `try()` than not to have. They didn't listen to me.

- libria 7y ago"Listened to" is colloquial for "engaged with". They engaged with people who represented the `try()` option and declined to implement it. It is impossible to implement every proposal their ears listened to so obviously that's not what listened means.

- owaislone 7y agoThey didn't listen to the community. It was not a democratically driven decision. They gathered feedback from the community, weighed it in, discussed it and took a decision considering all aspects. It's not like they listened to whatever had the most votes on Github. At least I'd like to believe they didn't.
- __david__ 7y agoI right there with you. I would have loved try() even as a stop-gap to something better.
- gjs278 7y agothey shouldn't listen to you because you just tried to add a new way of error handling that has been proven to lead to unreadable messes
