I couldn't disagree more. Checked exceptions in Java have ruined a generation of programmers.
The truth is, under checked exceptions, to satisfy the compiler the function that you called would declare that it throws a SomeModuleException and the programmer who wrote that function would put all his code in try/catch block that catches all errors and rethrows a SomeModuleException with the real exception passed as the cause.

Checked exceptions just don't work.
