Why HN links it

Linked only as a bare link in a thread on why C++ exceptions cannot carry a stack trace. The post concerns stack traces in Rust.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Programming, mostly.
