Quotes of the week

You DON'T need try..except blocks in correctly designed code. Well, you need them, but mostly on the upper level. The main reason for their use it to free acquired resources in case of exceptional conditions and that can be done well by "with(res):" statements (try-with-resources in Java).

C++ has an even better mechanism - destructors. It has a tremendous advantage over other error handling mechanisms because it unites error handling paths and normal exit paths.
