Y'know, reading hackerlab would be a very good start for you, as you
appear to be talking from a position of ignorance [of tla's internals]
rather than one of knowledge.
Oh, and as for exceptions being 'all that' ? Exceptions don't prevent
bad state in objects, they don't prevent bugs, all they do is ensure
that cleanup routines have a chance at trapping abnormal events within
the same process.
