Thanks! That's completely new to me. You got me looking into Dire, which looks like a similar pattern for error handling.

What Hacker News says
3 sourcesOn a related note, Michael Drogalis has done great work developing Dire, which now works with Slingshot. Slingshot allows for a great deal of information to be passed along with what would be exception messages, and Dire brings something like Erlang style supervisor trees to Clojure:
https://github.com/MichaelDrogalis/dire
I do think the combination of Slingshot and Dire gives Clojure something similar to the condition handling system of Common Lisp. If you don't know about Common Lisp's condition system, you really should read this:
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/beyond-exception-handling-co...
In Slingshot: Enhanced try and throw for ClojureWhile I'm not familiar with the Erlang paradigm that inspires it, the dire[1] library in Clojure is designed to decomplect error handling from code that may generate an error. I like this approach a lot.
