What limitations exist when using exceptions in Kotlin?

In Kotlin, there are no checked exceptions, unlike Java. This means that the compiler does not require mandatory catching or declaring exceptions in function signatures.

Main restrictions and features:

• No need to declare exceptions in throws.
• Exceptions are handled optionally, which simplifies the code but requires attentiveness when handling errors.
• The absence of checked exceptions may lead to errors not being explicitly handled, requiring discipline from the developer.

Example of exception handling in Kotlin:

try {
    val result = riskyOperation()
} catch (e: IOException) {
    println("Input/output error: ${e.message}")
}

Thus, the restrictions are related to the lack of a checked exceptions mechanism, which affects the error handling style.
