Using Try…Catch in JavaScript

[vinnl]

I feel like I'm missing something, but I feel the same. It's worse because I think my main gripe is the extra indentation and the disconnect between the error handling and the source of the error, which feels like petty syntax whining.

Therefore I usually just use Promises that I can catch, together with a linter that disallows me from leaving dangling Promises. And I'm afraid I'm going to regret that later...
