- thewebcount 4y agoI found a bug in the compiler on it! I was writing some fractal generating code, and found that something I did caused the compiler to output the error message: “Dave doesn’t think this should compile. Please send an email to dave<someone-or-other>@dec.com”. So I did. They replied that they found the problem and had a fix for it.
