Imagine the sheer idiocygenius required to add a language feature where, if an error occurred, the handling method is to just pretend that line of code never existed and continue onto the next line.
Very different. This means default ignore all errors and continue to the next line. You’d have to explicitly catch every line in most(all?) other languages.
Ignoring every exception, including divisions by zero, is something I've never seen outside of BASIC and shell scripting. Even C and assembly will shit themselves when you do some of the shit that ON ERROR RESUME NEXT will ignore.
I wrap every line of code in a try catch block, even my try catch blocks are in try catch blocks just in case the first accidentally drops it after catching it
I came across a stack overflow recently about how to do something in a jasmine unit test. Someone gave a solution of “I just changed the test to xit(“… and now there are no errors!”
