The error message in every language requires that the programmer know the language themselves.
‘bad_match’ error in erlang is as much of a enigma to a C programmer as is a ‘bad operator’ in C to a python programmer.
It is not the error message that makes erlang valuable, rather a synchronous state machine for a single process that is completely independent of every other process which stops errors from propagating to other unrelated processes.
