After all, Linux is still written in Rust, and it works great despite that language's terrible error handling.
Just curious - is this an actual commentary on your thoughts about Rust error handling in today's context, or merely a commentary on how our understanding should be expected to evolve? At least comparing to C++, Rust's Result is a solid win over try/catch for me.
