Re: panic and recover functions.
Personally I've never understood the point of 'try'.
To me it adds complexity - more keywords, more complex compiler/interpreter, etc.
Whats wrong with:
do something
if ( error ) {
handle error
}
or even simpler (of course depends on language)
do something || handle error
These seem easier, using keywords/structures that are used commonly in the code for all sorts of things, rather than introducing and learning a new construct/keyword for one particular purpose, handling errors, that can be done just as well with the existing constructs.
