Can you explain what (in your opinion) was lost here? Because I don’t see how this is some kind of critical issue, it just looks like some minor semantics that you just don’t like.
I don’t see what type of “cost” was payed here that you think implies mediocrity.
Maybe I’m biased because I come from firmware development, but I’d rather have error handling be explicit and as close as possible to the error source.
