   Reading PCL chapter CL's condition system and how it's better than python/java/c++ exception handling, meanwhile, me not knowing what exception handling, or exceptions are: :cirnosip:

     @cine common lisp's error handling is so weird
     
     you basically create an object to represent an error, yeet it, but you also specify ways that the error could be mitigated, and then the calling code can choose one of these, or if it gets thrown all the way to the user, they can choose one and everything resumes.
     
     nobody else kept that. everyone else you can yeet an error upward but it always fails hard.

     @icedquinn Pretty much what I understood from the chapter, yeah. I think it's a neat way to handle errors. I will take my time fiddling with CL, I'm liking it a lot so far :blobrainbow:
