It's mildly amusing that a language that emphases explicit error returns should discard a system interface that does that in favour of one that's not even a raised exception but a trap. (ok, ok, Unix typically just returns crappy EIO on a real error, but does distinguish several other cases such as ENOSPC.) And it's relying on the paging subsystem which is even worse. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tb065f4df67a8bab9-M4aaa692507919c2a04fe1203 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
