Thanks for your suggestion.

At first glance it appears to be object oriented, which is against preference but not a deal breaker.

However error case looks to be try catch which is a deal breaker.

Wren uses coroutines ("fibers") for error handling, which is unusual. But yes, ultimately it does seem to be equivalent to try-catch.
