[2:18pm] _ollie: pretty much everyone in the java world agrees that checked exceptions were a mistake from the beginning… have you ever wondered why no other mainstream language has them?
[2:18pm] mediocretes: unchecked exceptions aren't enterprise ready
[2:18pm] _ollie: says who?
[2:18pm] topriddy: mediocretes: +1
[2:19pm] _ollie: good that the spring framework is pretty much the defactor standard for enterprise applications and heavily features unchecked exceptions…
[2:19pm] mediocretes: woosh
[2:19pm] topriddy: _ollie: well i dont like seeing exceptions for that use case, i even quarelled with the daolayer designer in my team cos he refused to remove the output from logs

[2:19pm] _ollie: how does that align with your argument?

[2:20pm] _ollie: unchecked exceptions don't force you to log anything? handle them at the place you can really handle them… done…
