Checked exceptions address some of the difficulties with exceptions. However, they introduce new difficulties, and I do not believe they work in large-scale programs. In practice, checked exceptions degenerate into unchecked exceptions. Changing the set of exceptions that a function throws forces all callers to adjust their set of exceptions. In practice this is so painful that programs catch exceptions and turn into them into unchecked exceptions. There are a number of discussions on the Interwebs about the problems with checked exceptions; here's one: https://www.artima.com/intv/handcuffs.html .
