Ahhhh, compilers could be so simple if it weren't for the problem reporting...

I love how this post is written as if everybody's biggest problem was writing a compiler which gives bad error messages 😂
I really enjoyed reading it though because I also used to write a lot of parsers and I know how challenging it is to provide good error messages. Everyone should be grateful to all the compiler constructors who put real big efforts into this topic ❤
