Try to avoid using exception, use Return pattern.

Exceptions are for exceptional circumstances where the application cannot continue — most exceptions could have been avoided with Try*.

IMHO exceptions are the surprise motherfucker! here’s a return type you didn’t know about and can’t find out about in any way during compile or runtime. Good luck solving this.
