That depends on the code, I think. In some cases the exception may arise from deep in the code, and it would make sense not to bother with a lot of type overhead for many levels of nesting and function calling. But if all you are doing is checking the success of a function, I suppose option types will be more efficient. Best, -- Eray Ozkural, PhD candidate. Comp. Sci.
