How about some humorous error messages for DMD? Similar to those that Apple created for their Macintosh Programmer's Workshop: http://www.macfreek.nl/humour/mpwc-error-messages.html "Too many errors on one line (make fewer)" :-) Mathias |

p.s. this is my first post here, hopefully not my last. :) As far as I can tell, D is looking pretty nice for me to switch start using :)
And hopefully it doesn't matter that this is pretty off topic since this post was pretty off topic to begin with.
p.p.s. I can also ramble a bit sometimes, in case you didn't notice.

The error messages could contain an url to the D wiki where everyone can make comments and place tips for others receiving this error.

The problem is that you need two equal signs instead of one.

Yeah, but the result of (a = b) is the type of a. See http://www.digitalmars.com/d/expression.html#AssignExpression -Sebastian |
