5. Execution Flow
Control statements behave analogously to C++, but with clean, fast-to-parse syntax. It features C-style loops (`for (let i = 0; i < N; i++)`), iterable iteration loops (`for (element in collection)`), and structured error handling with Try-Catch-Finally.
Structured Exception Handling
1 try { 2 let fd = __open("documento_importante.txt", 0); 3 if (fd < 0) { 4 throw 5001; // Throws file not found error code 5 } 6 } catch (error) { 7 // Handles the error collected from the call stack 8 io_write_file("log.err", "Execution failure: ${error}"); 9 } finally { 10 // Always executed to release files, FD connections, or buffers 11 io_write_file("progresso", "Flow finished!"); 12 }
Dryad's exception flow guarantees continuous error propagation along the stack in the absence of local handlers.
