    "it will suffer from much the same problems as the checked exceptions as being tiresome and constantly in your face": Not really: with proper language support you only have to program the "success path", with the underlying language machinery taking care of propagating errors.

  • "A language should have a mean to document exceptions an API can throw. " - weeeel. In C++ "we" learned that this doesn't really work. All you can really usefully do is to state whether an API can throw any exception. (That really cutting a long story short, but I think looking at the noexcept story in C++ can yield very good insights for EH in C# and Java as well.) Commented Jul 27, 2016 at 21:48
