    I fully support Result types, but you’re probably better off using rust at that point

      I get your point, but in this case it’s not that we are pining for our favourite features from other languages, it’s that even C++20 doesn’t support any sensible style of error handling.

      It just says “here are exceptions but also don’t actually use them lol”.

      I’m paid to work on a vast C++ codebase which I am free to modernise but not to port. But when it comes to error handling there’s not really anything to modernise to, so it’s just this hige maintenance burden I can’t fix.
