Fighting with a compiler is a different feeling to be sure. I'm primarily a C# dev, which normally has a pretty happy compiler. But I've started playing with Websharper (Translates C#/F# code to JS.) One nice thing about the library is that once you understand the basics of composition, your JS -will- work as long as the compiler doesn't barf on what you did. But, it has the drawback of seeing more errors from the compiler itself. While at first it was frustrating, I realized that the time I spent dealing with the compiler errors was still less time than I would have spent troubleshooting my own handwritten JS.
