So a language isn't safe if it doesn't *force* you into a particular model of error handling? That's a ludicrous statement! I guess you feel that almost all languages are unsafe then?

What's hard about delegates? You define your delegate type like a regular method signature (but with the delegate keyword). Then than you can just go right ahead and create delegate instances, pass them around, and call them. I really can't see anything challenging there.

On second thought, if you find delegates difficult then perhaps that's why you need to program in a language that babysits your use of exceptions too. It probably is safer for you.
