Or you've seen an approach fail spectacularly in a programming language you're familiar with, which causes you to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Or you've seen an approach fail spectacularly in a programming language you're familiar with, which causes you to throw out the baby with the bath water.
- metadat 4y agoAny specific examples you can share?
- groestl 4y agoA bit tongue in cheek, but I'm just referring to Rob Pike et al., exceptions, and C++. And I must clarify that by "fail spectacularly" I mean solely from the POV of the aspiring language designer, not necessarily from other language users. People enjoy C++ exceptions now, it seems, in combination with RAII, but back then it was probably a different story.
