Well, the KDE KC reminded me of the discussion again, about whether or not
C++ exceptions have a place in Qt / KDE. Right now I'm at a conference on
software architectures and Tom Cargill was cited as someone who knows
(tm) about exception handling. Of course, this was in the same sentence as
"exceptions are gotos on steroids" and "Dijkstra's 'goto considered bad'
is spot on," so you know that C++ exceptions *in* *general* are going to
be dissed, not just any particular implementation thereof.

Here's the URL, and that combined with Waldo's sage words should convince,
well, some people:
