Chad Myers said:"Exceptional Java"
(this is more of an argument from C++ saying that
Java and .NET-style exceptions are bad, which is pretty
naive, but there is a section talking about the downsides
of checked exceptions in Java)

I'm curious as to how you reached this interpretation. I don't
remember saying mentioning .NET or saying the Java style exceptions
were bad. The point I tried to make was that they are different to
C++ exceptions and that the orthodox approach to using them was naive.
The approach described in that article (and the follow on "More
Exceptional Java") has been used sucessfully over numerous projects in
several organisations. (Some of which have no experience of C++.)
