> An easy example of this is compile-time errors -- the most complex compile time error you can get of Java tends to be nothing more than "mismatched bracket" or "incorrect function call" So, you're saying it's a benefit that the Java compiler doesn't help you out with anything very meaningful? The "complex error messages" are one of the most significant benefits of using Haskell, for me, because it means that the compiler it helping me out with more than just trivial syntax matters.
