Assertion is only for development and testing. We need errors or exceptions during development and testing, but not in production. Therefore, errors/exception should not be catched by code in general. Isn't assertion nature? I don't insist not to enable assertion in production environment. There might be software that needs extreme reliability and stability. For these softwares, it makes sense to enable assertions and catch errors/exceptions to do some cleanups.
