A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

If I have some best-effort code, I might write it as
```try {
   foo()
} catch (ex: Exception) {
   // ignore failures, best effort
}```
but if I'm inside a coroutine, will this screw up cooperative cancellation? Do I need to do something like
```try {
  foo()
} catch (ex: CancellationException) {
  throw ex
} catch (ex: Exception) {
  // ignore failures, best effort
}```
?

I was afraid of that. Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face:

that also screws up Java thread interruption

&gt;  that also screws up Java thread interruption
Will that be handled by re-throwing CancellationException as in my second block of code?

Or are there additional changes required for the Java thread case?

Java uses a different InterruptedException

in general catching and failing to rethrow exceptions is a bad idea. only handle exceptions you know you can handle

Yeah, I'm not super happy about it either. (massive legacy codebase :partying_face: )
