From casually looking at both CPython and JVM code I conclude that implementation of exception handling in Java and Python is almost same. So this is more a cultural difference than effectiveness issue.
- gaius 18y agoIn Java you can do stuff like, the JVM is going to bounds check you anyway, so why bother checking yourself if you're about to go off the end of an array? Just i++ and catch IndexException (or whatever it's called).
- brl 18y agoYou can do that, but nobody writes Java code like this since it's more awkward and aesthetically offensive than explicit bounds checking.
