No, it's entirely correct. ;-) > the main point to get in the Sutter paper is that there is an unfortunate > fragmentation of the C++ community across whether to support exceptions (and > RTTI as mentioned in the debunking) is true You cannot solve the fragmentation by adding yet another way of doing error handling. Solve the technical problems so that exceptions can be used where they otherwise could not (btw this doesn't require language changes, at least for Nim it didn't) and let the exception dislikers avoid exceptions. It's fine to not use some language features, it's not a "fragmentation". I don't use Nim's `defer` construct fwiw and I survive, I am not concerned how we can mediate between the non-defer and the do-defer Nim users.
