How was your bank holiday?

We went to a small nursery nearby that had some Llamas, Pigs, Donkeys, Chickens, Guinea Pigs, Shetland Ponies, Ducks, Geese and Rabbits to view.

The pigs were the clear winner in terms of time spent observing.

Pigs are adorable!

Peppa Pig!

The kid managed to feed them some acorns he found

dharrigan 2020-09-01T05:41:05.116100Z

they enjoyed that

dharrigan 2020-09-01T05:41:24.116500Z

Of the people who've used datascript, is exceptions the only way to safely fail a transaction if you're using db functions? Curious if people have other approaches?

dominicm 2020-09-01T16:11:51.119200Z

What's wrong with exceptions?

dominicm 2020-09-01T16:12:46.120700Z

Troll answer: I'm using this monadic library I wrote for error processing and a monkey patch to the internals of data script to handle it. Such purity.

if you use exceptions as the error values in your monadic lib it will probably all work out quite nicely!
