@MrBanarium But in real world it is not, that has a HUGE performance hit when you are using performance oriented languages. It is a BAD practice to use exceptions for something you could have easily testes. I would NOT hire someone that do it. The "ask for forgiveness" is only good on HIGHER level abstractions, i.e out of the inner loops of the code.

@MrBanarium true but unfortunatelly the developers take a practice sometimes too much to the heart and do nto stop to think WHY in such a language it makes sense, so they apply it blindly.
