Favorite experience with compiler errors: C++ in 2004 or so, when the errors were so voluminous and inscrutable that you had to install another program to massage them into something readable.
- cratermoon 4y agoThe first time I tried writing a C++ program with templates (very early on, like mid-late 90s), the compiler error messages were longer than the little program I was trying to write. It put me off on the language and the compiler so much that I went back to plain C and off into Perl and other languages, and never really got back to it.
