[OT] Is there a real alternative to exceptions ?

[Basile B.]

I have the feeling that things like

```
a.map!(mapperFun).reduce!(reducerFun).array;
```

is only possible thanks to an exception system. A similar 
expressivity looks impossible for example with the idom of result 
tuple `(error_code, actuallResult)`.

that problem is currently something rather serious, in the sense 
that, let's say you want to make a standard library, you really 
need to have a well defined way of handling errors.

I'll be interested to read your thoughts on that topic.
