Anecdote posted as-is: I recently started a macOS app project to learn Swift and SwiftUI. A week or two into the project, I managed to hit an honest-to-god compiler bug. A particular combination of syntaxes would reliably cause the compiler to crash (not yield a compile error; crash). I tried restarting XCode, restarting my computer, updating everything. Whenever I brought that syntax into the editor, XCode's Swift compiler integration would crash. It wasn't anything exotic; I was making a straightforward app, and wasn't trying any Swift language funny-business (I didn't know the language well enough to even try) It was bizarre to so easily find a bug in the headlining compiler made by the world's most valuable company; I can only think it's the result of this being a language that (effectively) only targets one company's systems, and the effect that has on the size and involvement of the community
