I don't understand what you're trying to say here. Laziness has nothing to do with it. Returning a Result vs using .expect("this should never be missing or an error") is about whether your program can continue after this error.
- EugeneOZ 7y agoNo, panicking is not a correct way to handle programm execution, it's just "I don't want to care about this possible error case right now", nothing more. I gave you 2 examples and you preferred to ignore them or say "it's ok". Let's agree to disagree, I will never understand people who are too lazy to allow panicking in their code and say "works as intended". Many languages don't have Result types to return so there you can't do much sometimes to prevent data corruption or something worse. But in languages where you can return more than just "false", it's not acceptable.
