I'm not convinced at all that checked exceptions (as implemented in Java,
not C++) don't work.

My suspicion is that the usual Java code monkey is just too sloppy to care
and thus sees it more as a nuisance rather than the help that it is.

I think Rust attracts a different kind of programmer than Java.
