Checked Exceptions are a very good idea because you always know what error conditions you have to take into account. Therefore they increase the reliability of a program, especially one you have not written by yourself but you have to maintain. They are also very important when using libraries. Java is no language for the quick and dirty programming style or the quick hack to describe it more politely. There are many scripting languages for that purpose, one for every taste. Use Groovy or JRuby for the quickie but don't try to convert Java to yet another scripting language. I wouldn't become a good one anyway
