To panic or not to panic

Explores strategies for handling panics in Rust programs, examining three approaches: writing panic-free code (difficult and impractical for most projects), limiting panics to bugs only (requires extensive testing and careful invariant management), and handling panics at thread or process boundaries (enables recovery but requires careful state management). Emphasizes that panics are unavoidable in Rust due to language design, standard library behavior, and dependency code, making it essential to have an explicit panic strategy as part of high-level design rather than assuming they won't occur.
