Kids today will never know the joy of "On Error Resume Next"
- bjoli 3y agoMan, you made me think of this old gem: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts96J7HhO28 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts96J7HhO28
- pcblues 3y agoMy greatest shame as a young developer was wrapping a Delphi application in an exception handler and re-running itself when it crashed.
- rvense 3y agoNono, this is called "let it crash" philosophy, you just reinvented Erlang and you're actually a genius!
- kijin 3y agoIt's called try { doSomething(); } catch(e) {} these days. :)
- pieter_mj 3y agoI'm still programming in VBA today. I name the error handling labels try: and catch: and finally: :). My attempt to introduce some modernity into the language (the'try:'-label is obviously obsolete and is a mere indicator).
- orthoxerox 3y agoI've always preferred On Error GoTo Hell
- layer8 3y agoThat’s what shell scripts do by default, so I would argue that kids today actually do know.
