as if DoS by exception is any better...
- Smaug123 2y agoDepends on the application! There's a reason we have the concept of "failing closed" vs "failing open": sometimes (very often, in fact) it's correct to shut down under attack, rather than to open up under attack.
- tptacek 2y agoThe subtext of that comment cuts against the argument you're trying to make here: a panic following a missed error check is always fail-closed, but exception recovery is not.
