The whole point of exception handling is bubble-and-recover, vs. error codes (must check every call site) and panics (no/hard recovery).

@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

@tjholowaychuk @domenic instead I think the TC / promise spec authors overlooked the way throw is used; which means the spec isn't perfect

@yoshuawuyts @tjholowaychuk I think you have a very Node-centric perspective. In the 95% of JS code that is running on the web this is wrong

@domenic @tjholowaychuk oh yea, you're definitely right - but like I said: I think the TC overlooked the way throw is used for some, not all
