That's exactly what I mean! Thanks!

Hmm, I'm losing track of my point. I prefer writing code so it models all errors explicitly, so I end up with that kind of verbosity in JavaScript too. I only get code like foo(bar(qux(x))) when I'm using lots of function calls that have no errors (or whose arguments can be errors).

EDIT: My use of the term "error code" came about because of this subthread on LtU: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4606#comment-73197. I probably didn't give the term enough context to have a clear meaning.

You've raised interesting issues. I think this thread has digressed a bit, though.
