Java’s Checked Exceptions Are Evil? (2015)

They aren't, because you have to use clunky verbose syntax (and try/catch blocks aren't expressions, which makes things worse). Also, there are several limitations on generics with exceptions that don't exist with regular values.

My point is that there's no reason to include special syntax/concepts for checked exceptions over just using values.

I quite prefer the Option monad approach in Scala where you can pattern match the result. Far more succinct and doesn't require program logic flow to be interrupted.
