Can we ever move to a world where executed programs throw a full exception up to the caller, rather than just return a status code?
The decision to return a status code was probably made before I was born. If there were a machine that ran Java as it's OS, rather than a java vm on top of solaris/linux/hpux/windows/etc, we could have such an environment where exceptions could be thrown to the parent process.
I wonder when it does date from? Multrics? Or something earlier. Whatever, it needs improvement.
