11:07 <montanonic> If you have a function with multiple sources of errors, how can you indicate what the cause of failure was, given that `error` has no type? Is the idea to perhaps use your own failure type in those cases, such as the FP idioms of Result/Either?

11:17 <doublec> montanonic: yes, that's the idea

11:29 <montanonic> Any good technique to terminate a program early?

11:29 <montanonic> I'm writing some quick 'n' dirty code and don't want to handle errors, I just want it to crash at any failure point and give an error message.

11:30 <montanonic> I understand this is quite antithetical to the idea of Pony, so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't well supported to do anything like that at this stage. But, if there is a good approach to this, I'd like to know.

11:36 <doublec> montanonic: use the ffi to call abort or exit?

11:37 <montanonic> doublec: ah, okay, thanks.
