I like this stick-in-the-mud statement from 14 years ago:
If exception handling is such a Good Thing, why do I have so many Windows programs on my machine (written in "modern languages" such as C++) crashing with disappointing frequency, and all I get is a message from the O/S: "program X has attempted an illegal operation and will be shut down". These modern programs don't detect their own error, apologize, or bow out gracefully.

Are you seriously suggesting that Euphoria is stuck in the mud because of that "ancient philosopher" Rob Craig, and his ancient ideas?
I believe that Rob's vision is stuck in the mud because of our selfishness and pride.
And without Rob Pythagoras, sorry!, Rob Craig, we wouldn't be here at all.
I believe Rob is saying that since no other langage or OS has a feature, it should not be in Euphoria either. I feel the other way, that along with sequences, Euphoria should have other rare features, and other useful features.
