As to whether it's confusing, I sometimes have to read these messages a few times (sometimes it's unclear which expression is being referred to, or why GHC thinks that the expression has a certain type), but the words themselves are clear in their meaning to me.
can you recall early times of your work with GHC? i think that these words are non-obvious for novices. finally it becomes part of your instincts as anything else often used. but it can be learning barrier. overall, hard-to-understand error messages was elected as one of 3 most important GHC problems in the survey conducted several years ago -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
