> The argument is that an error that can be recovered from isn't an exception. It should handled with standard guards (bounds check, null check, format check, etc). There's no checked exception that can't be better solved with an if/then statement. That's a philosophical position that is largely driven by the language (and I suppose the ecosystem around it). I happen to agree with that position, so I prefer languages like rust and go over java. But I also know that if I try to fight the customs of the language I'm working in, it'll end in a lot of pain and unnecessary angst; so, if I find myself using Java, I grit my teeth and used checked exceptions.
