What language do you use which does not have exceptions?




C, Rust, Go. With a little effort, Scala can be used this way quite naturally, simply by allowing exceptions to crash the process.

How do you handle situations where crashing the process is inappropriate. I may not care that a library doesn't like its log file or network socket disappearing, but I very much care if its exception about that event kills the entire process.
