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
I don't remember having any trouble, but that was a few years ago, and type errors are confusing generally. I think that the main difficulty with type errors is not the error *messages*, but I'm sure there is room for improvement. Do you have any ideas? --Max
