TS#### error messages was a brilliant idea to make them more ~googleable~ bingable at least.

- ygra 4y agoIsn't that pretty standard for compiler error messages? The C# compiler uses CS\d{4} for example. MSVC, MSBuild, various other build tools (at least on the Microsoft side) all use similar patterns with different prefixes. That being said, it seems like Clang or GCC don't do that at all, which perplexes me a bit. Perhaps it doesn't matter much when error messages are never localized.
- arethuza 4y agoI guess TypeScript and C# having Anders Hejlsberg in common probably helps with things like that?
