143-java-functional-exception-handling
Use when you need to apply functional exception handling best practices in Java — including replacing exception overuse with Optional and VAVR Either types, designing error type hierarchies using sealed classes and enums, implementing monadic error composition pipelines, establishing functional control flow patterns, and reserving exceptions only for truly exceptional system-level failures.
