@domenic but otherwise I agree, no point comparing them to Go panics since Go has a completely different error handling mechanism
@tjholowaychuk @domenic I disagree - though definitely more fragile, throw has been used as panic for as long as I can remember

@tjholowaychuk@domenic it serves a different purpose than process.exit; if they could be the same is not the point -
@tjholowaychuk@domenic its easy to blame programmers for misusing the language; TC-39 says we're programming wrong - 9 more replies

@yoshuawuyts in most cases I think returning an error would be nicer than try/catching everything (stat'ing a file etc)@domenicThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
