Why do we still have to write `catch let error as SystemError`? Why can't the error be inferred to have the type thrown by the function? I've always found swift's error handling syntax to be awkward

But that's exactly what typed throws do?

`static func validate(name: String) throws(ValidationError)`

Would be handled as:

```

do {

    try UsernameValidator.validate(name: name)

} catch {

    switch error {

    case .emptyName:

        print("You've submitted an empty name!")

    case .nameTooShort(let nameLength):

        print("The submitted name is too short!")

    }

}

```

Oh I see, the original article didn’t use this syntax.
