Rethinking Exceptions in the Context of Loom and Structured Concurrency

[Robert Engels]

Maybe you need to reread the other thread. Eric’s tone was clearly dismissive of the work of Java engineers, and attempting to blanket change something at the 11th hour is also highly dismissive.

Then responding with "Respectfully, I think we’re talking past each other a bit.” because I happened to state I felt Rust’s error handling was horrible - nothing towards Eric whatsoever. So then labelling my comments as “talking past him” to what degree of respectfulness is that?

You can use measured words and still be highly disrespectful - that was my point. It’s the intent not the words.
