01:48 <jimjams> I've started using racket again for the first time in, oh, 13 years. it feels like being home again.

01:48 <jimjams> one thing i've noticed compared to other languages i've used in the meantime is the legibility of error messages--getting raw line/col values instead of little ascii pointer-y things

01:49 <jimjams> i was wondering of there was a place to file a feature request or reasons why this would be hard/unwanted?

01:50 <jimjams> (I'm thinking formatting like this, that points out specific tokens and their relations to each other: https://jvns.ca/blog/2022/12/02/a-couple-of-rust-error-messages/ )

09:19 <dzoe> jimjams: I remember a lenghty discussion on one of the Racket meetups and it basically boils down to macro expansion, syntax versus syntax/loc and similar stuff.

09:20 avocadoist has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!]

09:20 <dzoe> Typically the more complex causes of errors are after (some number of) expansion step(s) - and mapping it to the original source you wrote is deemed feasible yet very hard.

09:20 avocadoist has joined #racket

09:21 <dzoe> OTOH in my experience, strictly using syntax/loc for anything more complex helps.
