Modern Patterns

Concrete before/after modern idioms for errors, types, modularity, and other constructs.

Error Handling

Legacy Broad catches, silent ignores.

Modern Explicit error unions, log or propagate. No silent empty catches in data/inference/persistence paths.

Types

Legacy String unions or magic values.

Modern Enums, tagged unions, strong types.

Modularity

Extract pure core, push effects to edges. Small focused units.

See references for catalog of before/after in Zig context.
