    Just solved an annoying problem by using exceptions for control flow, because I'm a grown up now so I can do what I like. So there.

        Heh, yes, kind of. This one was more a case of "dependent type checking needs weird stuff from time to time" but it still felt a bit like cheating...

        recently at work we had to rewrite some c++ that used exceptions for control flow because of a bug in libc++ on macos.

        I bet that was fun... At least in this case the receptive are implemented in Idris rather than the run time so I'm reasonably confident it behaves as it should!

        Just express that in terms of shift and reset to give it the whiff of respectability

        All patterns deserve anti-patterns. There’s a difference between starting with exceptions for flow control and solving specific cases.
