Better error handling:

What will this look like? Needs thought.

Informal intro to Rust-style error handling via monads, although the site
avoids the word "monad" to avoid invoking excess fear.

Monad stuff comes at page 6 (section 2.5). Basically the same as the above,
with all the boring formality.

Felix implementation version of the above

Despite being an exceptions fan, I *love* the Haskell/Rust/Felix method of
handling errors, most particularly the Haskell way:

f n = do
  a <- someFunction
  a + n

If someFunction throws an error, it will be propagated to the parent
invisibly. Kind of like a mix of exceptions and exception specifications
without the annoying verbose crap involved.
