JADE Environment Development Ideas

Many development environments support a try/catch exception handling style, typically:

try {
// do stuff
}
catch (exceptionObject) {
// handle exceptions
}

Statements in the try block are executed and, if there is an exception of a type compatible with the declaration of the exceptionObject in the catch block, that block is executed to handle the exception.

Multiple catch blocks for the one try block can also be supported.

The benefits are

1) code is easier to read and understand,
2) exception handling code is alongside the code being executed
3) it is a more standard style of exception handling that developers new to Jade will be more familiar with and pick up very easily.

Obviously it would need to work alongside the existing Exception Handling code.
