> error messages from MUMPS
Is fixing that tractable? Cryptic error messages is one of the most frustrating turn-offs to new would-be contributors.
/probably one of the few people here who has written MUMPS code
- smanek 16y agoheh, epic alum?

- jb3 16y agoOf all the things that I dislike about MUMPS, error messages aren't anywhere near the top of the list.
- kingkilr 16y agoYes, it probably is. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation though, everyone who knows RPython well enough to make the changes can already understand the errors just fine.
