In Java you would say “throw e;” (to rethrow the same exception you just caught.)
You wouldn’t just say “throw”
Or you could also throw some other exception. But the syntax requires you specify what it is you are throwing. (And sane in C++, where you could throw any object, even a primitive.)
I was kind of being sarcastic. I haven’t written a compiler since I rode my dinosaur to college. Still it’s a funny idea. Could probably do it in C using a bunch of pound defines.
Aside from how Microsoft stole it, fucked the standard library, fucked the naming conventions, etc. You would never just “throw” without specifying what you were throwing.
But people liked Facebook when it initially became mainstream. And they made a movie about zuck where he was painted as some comp sci genius and great entrepreneur. That was so long ago though.
This is an interesting take. I always figured if it got to the point where Vance was their number 1 guy, he wouldn’t have the cult leader charisma to keep MAGA together and it would all fall apart. Wishful thinking I suppose. But maybe that’s why they are installing musk to begin with.
Right, so then my original translation is still valid, and might sound more natural in English.
