#8809: Prettier error messages? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: joelteon | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.9 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by goldfire): It's [https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/3bnpa7/compiler_errors_for_humans/ come to my attention] that my comment:2 may have shut down the conversation here. That was the opposite of my intent! I'd love to figure out how to break down the problem of difficult-to-work-with error messages into its pieces so that we can debate them (and hopefully implement improvements) sensibly. I should also be clear on one particular point: the biggest barrier to getting this done is the love from someone(s) to see it all through. This would be a valuable service, indeed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8809#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
