Here is C.A.R Hoare's Turing award speech: https://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/courses/COP4610/hoare.pdf in which (2nd last page) he claims that Ada is a threat to civilization... because it has something as terrible as exceptions. We may or may not agree with his threatening thoughts Which is different from seeing the simple fact that exceptions are unstructured -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
