   @ieure it's really good, but IME it's just also frustrating not having it built-in to the language

   we have something similar in our system and everyone's kind of frustrated with it and wishes we were just doing exceptions everywhere because it's better to be consistently kinda shit than have to constantly be thinking about which parts of the system are good and which are kinda shit

     Just found this library that adds Common Lisp style error handling to Clojure.

     ...also goto and return-from, which, as with many other tools that are widely considered Bad Ideas, actually rule.
