      Besides, APIs shouldn't describe what's going on internally.

      Using `catch` for opposite-ish things reminds me of `static` in C and the confusing nature of addr-of and by-ref syntax both using & even when they mean opposite things.

      It has a similar problem imo as the two uses of `unsafe`. I think we can do better than `catches`. Do we not like `throws` because it gives the wrong idea to Java programmers?

      Exactly yeah. I think it gives the right idea, really. Though I guess making folks think we're like <other language that is different> might lead them to assume more than they should.

      I think it would be fine to tell new developers "it's like an exception but it only bubbles with `?`" A little later: "Also if you don't use `?` you can get your hands on the Result"

      That explanation kinda sounds too magical to me, vs. teaching the types - there's nothing special about the type besides the ? (and soon throws/catches/w.e) sugar and it being standard, and leading users to understand the types seems better?

      (Not that I particularly have a say in the process, just adding my 2¢ because something felt off to me about that post.)

      Yeah, it's more of like, I don't have the energy to respond to a discussion that built around a suggestion if I made one more "formally" via the forum or the like.

      (vs. an informal comment dropped into a twitter thread that's already discussing details where it's not particularly unusual to just drop a response and then disengage)

      Loading seems to be taking a while.

      Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
