what I like least about this article is how people seem to just substitute some other, usually theory, notion of what function coloring is to elide the argument (usually to excuse their favorite PL) without actually RTFA. The article is about ergonomics, not PL theory.

> Exceptions cause function coloring

do they? Do they?

1) Every function has a color

2) The way you call a function depends on its color

3) You can only call a red function from within another red function

4) Red functions are more painful to call

5) Some core library functions are red
