1 line exception handling (scala.util.control.Exception) and functional programming, tie-in to zio
1 line exception handling (scala.util.control.Exception) and functional programming, tie-in to zio I’ve been using scala3/dotty for awhile and am in the process of converting around 25 of my libraries to the new syntax and compiler. That’s another story. As I am converting code in my own libraries, I remember transcribing a small number of zio-sql functions and types into dotty/scala3 to see if I would like the optional brace syntax. For that test, I used different exception handling constructs than just try-catch . I was thinking about zio-sql today because of some activity related to that project. It prompted me to write up this thought since I had not blogged in awhile. The scala.util.control.Exception class has been around for awhile but may not be widely used. Typically when you encounter an error, you throw an exception. If you are not using a functional programming (FP) style you are most likely letting the exception propagate up, up, and up!
