I never wrote a single line of rust, but when a language is hard to learn, the compiler error messages are probably just bad in terms of comprehensibility and offer the user no direct solution.
- valarauca1 10y agowhen a language is hard to learn, the compiler error messages are probably just bad in terms of comprehensibility and offer the user no direct solution. I don't want to sound snarky but Rust really does have amazing error messages, and they literally do offer direct solutions/suggestions using literal examples and raw samples of your source code. It even offers the `rustc --explain EXXXX` (where XXXX is an error code) that give an in terminal deep dive + examples on why this is an error/how it is failing. I never wrote a single line of rust :|
- JepZ 10y agoSo what do you think, why is it so hard to learn rust, if it is not about the compiler messages?
