[Feature]: `raise` keyword support proposal. (REP-6)

[Almas-Ali]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It will make Radon more powerful.

Describe the solution you'd like A sample example.

try {
    1/0
}
catch as err {
    raise some error
}

Work List:

• [x] Add raise keyword support.
• [ ] Add raisable errors.

Examples:

• [ ] ValueError
• [ ] TypeError
• [ ] KeyError
• [ ] IndexError
• [ ] MemoryError
• [ ] IOError
• [ ] NotFound etc more...
• [ ] For making this multiple errors, we need to make a BaseError class that will be inherited by child classes to make new errors. Also custom (user defined) errors will be supported.

This issue will be edited for any future changes.

Converting this to a proposal. Radon Enhancement Proposal (REP-6)

[Almas-Ali]

Added raise keyword support. #135

[Almas-Ali]

Added raisable builtin in stdlib/radiation #140 This supports a list of error types.

[Almas-Ali]

Also user defined radiation errors are possible.

fun MyError(message=null) -> message

raise MyError
raise MyError("This is my error")

This ends up this REP for now. We don’t have OOP fully supported yet. We will move to OOP model in the future.
