  PHP has the always wonderful (and perfectly functional) syntax of

  logUserIn() or die();

      Perl also has unless() for the very purpose in OP, which is a more sensible choice.

        Bash?

  Personally, I like to call catched exception variables up, so for a rethrow I can throw up;.

  It’s funnier when you try to SysCallAndDie() :-P

  (that’s a real thing in perl btw - I guess that function didn’t get the memo)

  One of the modules in a project I’m working on is called VulkanOrDie which always makes me crack up when I see it in the compilation messages.

  I mean, it makes sense to call ComplainToErrorAndExit just ‘die’, no?
