Error Message Style Guides of Various Languages
“PyPy has been trying to produce good SyntaxErrors and other errors for a long time. CPython has also made an enormous push to improve its SyntaxErrors in the last few releases. These improvements are great, but the process feels somewhat arbitrary sometimes. To see what other languages are doing, I asked people on Twitter whether they know of error message style guides for other programming languages.”
CARL FRIEDRICH BOLZ-TEREICK

Story of Jython [2002]
“The story of Jython begins one summer in Ashland, Oregon. I was juggling in a park behind a theater when I met Pavel Curtis, a scientist at Xerox PARC, who wanted to pass clubs. While we were juggling together he told me about a wonderful new programming language called Python. Writing code in Python felt like writing the sort of natural informal code that developers would use when they wanted to quickly share ideas. It was executable pseudo-code.”

This week on the show, it’s Luciano Ramalho discussing his recent talk titled, “Type hints, protocols, and good sense.”
