What Hacker News says

3 sources
Most other languages agree that checked exceptions are not good by not having them. As for alternatives, Try/Result and similar monads have decent adoption even in Java, but personally I quite like the Kotlin philosophy [1] to not have generic error containers and either use runtime exceptions for errors that cannot be reasonably handled by the caller and encapsulate failures in the return type if they can.

In Unchecked Java: Say goodbye to checked exceptions
