A similar expressivity looks impossible for example with the idom of result tuple It's very easily doable, arguably with even better ergonomics than with exceptions: C/C++ programmers are just stuck in the 80s 😛 Nice, thanks for the link, so finally it seems that the problem would be solved since 2014. | |||

Posted in reply to Kagamin | Nullable having range interface, maybe you can just add error to the range contract? | |||

A similar expressivity looks impossible for example with the idom of result tuple that problem is currently something rather serious, in the sense that, let's say you want to make a standard library, you really need to have a well defined way of handling errors. I'll be interested to read your thoughts on that topic. I suggest to you to have a look how pure functional programming languages are handling such kind of constructs. As a soft start I suggest Elm. | |||

While they should be part of the convrsation; purity is holding back ranges and we dont have the compiler tool set of haskell. | |||
