A 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.
