I didn't think checked exceptions were well regarded. Wasn't there some quote about the Java ones being a failed experiment?
They weren't, but I think it was more the ergonomics of using them in Java, and the fact you couldn't escape them today gave them that reputation.

Ergonomics isn't the problem. Rather it's versioning and focusing on the wrong thing, as handling exceptions is not what matters, closing resources is (i.e the "finally", not the "catch"). Issues are fundamental IMO, but I love seeing people try. https://www.artima.com/articles/the-trouble-with-checked-exceptions …

Can't say that I agree with this. Throwing Exceptions gives you the same problems as null. You either forget to catch something and have run-time errors, or you rely on overly-defensive programming. Some things are truly exceptional, but IMO most errors are not.
