		kyllo on Oct 16, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Brad Fitzpatrick on the future of Go Ahh, I remember what it was. I saw a code snippet like this: `let input = reader.read_line().ok().expect("Failed to read line");` And I thought "Cool, Rust has exceptions!" I'm probably too used to thinking in Python. Or maybe I'm just dyslexic and I read "expect()" as "except()". Either way, your comment prompted me to dig into it further and find out how Rust actually handles errors. So, thanks!

Thanks for elaborating! I wrote that line in the docs, actually. I wonder if I should add an explicit note about exceptions not being a thing.
