	topriddy: _ollie: UncheckedExceptions are not good. For example, in storing a user, i search for the username if already used, now MongoDB Java driver throws on this search, worse still it doesnt force my method from catching it
	[2:17pm] nofxxxx left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
	[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
