I've been pondering the same thing![0] Essentially, one would get (checked-)exception-like behavior, except that performance would be better, and whether a function can fail or not would still need to be declared explicitly in its return type. > But I guess that forcing individual trys makes you think harder about handling individual errors than just pushing the responsibility for error handling up the callstack. It probably does but it can also make code much harder to read if you have to check for errors after every other line. I'm a bit divided on this.
