Rust Solves the Issues with Exceptions
A small topic that’s too big to fit in a larger Rust post.
But when you need to pass the error data into the second function, Java makes you write a verbose try-catch block and cook a home-made Result type: When your function can encounter multiple different errors and you want to preserve concrete type information, Rust makes you manually define a wrapper enum and implement the conversions.
