Neander Language Replaces Exceptions with Failable Types
Neander programming language eliminates exceptions, using a failable type T! for API calls that returns either a value or an error. Developers handle errors with three operators: =? for propagation, ?? for defaults, and is for inspection. This design ensures consistent error handling without try/catch blocks.
