That was kind of my reaction. It has been my impression that while many folks initially seem to think that checked exceptions are a good idea, it has generally been accepted by the programming community at large that they are in fact a bad idea. AFAIK, Java is the only language to have checked exceptions, and every language that has come after has avoided them. Regardless, based on what Walter has said previously, I think that it's quite clear that there is zero danger of checked exceptions ever being added to D and thus there is really no need to spend time or energy arguing about it, which is part of why I've essentially ignored this thread (and is probably why a lot of major posters have ignored it). I have too little time to spend on D-related things right now as it is. LOL. On that count, I probably shouldn't even have spent the time to reply to this... - Jonathan M Davis
