How about some humorous error messages for DMD? Similar to those that Apple created for their Macintosh Programmer's Workshop:

"Too many errors on one line (make fewer)"

Or the error messages could be stored in an XML file so anyone could write their own. :P

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.

I always thought:
<code>
bit a, b; // (bool?)

if (a = b) {...}
<code>
"not a boolean result"
was pretty good myself :D

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

Tijn

p.s. My first post too. :-D

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
