I’ve been programming for many years and never thought of or met any issues with exceptions. It’s a useful mechanism to stop execution and send a structured signal up the call stack to where you expect it. If you don’t have issues (e.g. data, syntax, performance related) with the way you use exceptions, it’s safe to ignore all philosophical distresses.
What does it actually mean? When should I use it? Is this correct? Is my usage aligned with the idea behind it? These are all questions of a restless mind. The one that stands in front of a toolbox and cannot choose a type of a hammer for a trivial job where even a rock will do.
