       @musicmatze okay, I'll bite. What's the problem? I received many suggestions to use exactly that.

       @abesamma its perfectly fine in your application code. But in libraries it basically hides all information about the actual error - so users of your library cannot actually handle the error - stuff like "Okay, let me handle that error by re-trying my operation with other settings" is a guessing-game, because you don't know what the actual error was, just that there was one.

       @musicmatze hmm, yes good point. You could open an issue for said library. Most likely the library maintainer is using it out of habit more than anything else.

       @abesamma yeah, already did that with the iroh folks, but its been taking months for them to rip out that design mistake (and AFAIK this is still ongoing) and the project that inspired above toot is based on iroh ... so .. yeah...But will definitively do.

       @musicmatze at least it's better than handling errors with unwrap...
