I'm all for competition within the Fediverse (that's a big strength of the Fediverse if you ask me). I just wish we'd move on from Java and other exception-based languages.
What's wrong with exceptions?
Because exceptions are old and the new (recycled) kids are much more fun to play with? Or people yearn to implement the low level switch-case pattern error matching mechanism all over again, which try-catch-exceptions were solving.
I think there is no moving on from a paradigm as long as it has a function.
