Agreed. I much prefer the style that Anders H. went with in C# of unchecked exceptions and the recommendation to have a single “catcher” at the top of a main event handler/loop spot in the code.

Rather than catch littered everywhere, there is just a top level thing to do something like log a “well it died, cuz <<reason>>, thought you should know (moving on to the next thing)”.

That's what erlang does too. "let it crash".
