I'm writing a software language that has 1/0 = 0 as well. In my case, I am experimenting with several ideas, two of which are no runtime errors and no exceptions, so everything is either a logic error (aided by multiple return values) or a compiler error. It works fine in normal scenarios, but dividing by zero can't be caught at compile time, and operators can only return a single value, so I had to return something.
