Howdy,
I love it! The “do" blocks never did “feel” like Swift. I can see how
both would be useful.
I like to use as many conditionals in a single guard statement as I can
get away with, so I was concerned that guard/catch would need to interoperate
with guard/else. However, I am fairly convinced that, at least for now, having
to choose between guard /catch and guard /else is not that much of a problem.
guard/catch appears optimized for the simple-call case, where there is a single
throwing expression, so the code can handle its specific error/s more
precisely. When catching anything in a batch is the goal, then a do block is
probably fine.
