    The errors are also pretty terrible, usually the thing that interests you is buried under a lot of text that makes troubleshooting a real pain.

      Yeah because when you make an error it causes a snowball affect and it shows you too little information but when you look at the trace its a wall of errors.

      oof, yeah.

      i had a syntax error in my dotfiles that took me two hours to solve.

      it was a missing semicolon that was wayyy above where the error said it was. it didn’t even say missing semicolon, instead saying unexpected '}' on line ...

      Yep, today I had a typo in a package name, and it cascaded into a syntax error. The syntax was absolutely fine.
