Thank you for the detailed explanation!
Would it make sense to run the catch blocks/finalizers before unwinding the
stack? I.e. each `try` pushes its catch/finally block as a "closure" onto a
separate stack, to be run when an exception occurs, then the stack is only
unwound once regular control

In arbitrary order, the ones I can think of now.
1. We collect backtrace
There are many cases where we don't actually need this info, but
we need better code analysis to be able to figure that ou

Could you please go into those? I'd like to understand why unwinding the
stack is costlier than returning from a function.

Hi,
I have a question which may be laughable to CS people (be gentle, I'm a
Biologist), but we know from guidelines that Julia performs best, when a
method always returns the same type of value.
So the Julia type inference knows - ok, use this method with an Int, it
will always return a bool sa
