Continuing on as a default is dangerous, and has led to hundreds of thousands of security vulnerabilities. Not continuing is inconvenient, but safe.

Maybe it's time to bring back VB6 and On Error Resume Next.

It never went away, now it's just "catch (Exception) { }" spread liberally throughout the code base.

How to fix all errors in Python:

  try:
    #your code goes here
  except:
    pass

Well, technically the behavior of that is somewhat different.
