    Still not as excellent as On Error Resume Next

    Imagine the sheer idiocy genius required to add a language feature where, if an error occurred, the handling method is to just pretend that line of code never existed and continue onto the next line.

    VBA is truly the language of savants.

      PowerShell does that by default, and it’s my least favorite feature in my most used language.

      $ErrorActionPreference = Stop

      At the start of almost every script.

        Catching individual errors is fine. Having all errors be ignored by default is weird.

        Very different. This means default ignore all errors and continue to the next line. You’d have to explicitly catch every line in most(all?) other languages.
