I was keen to do a small project in Haskell. However I quickly found that the compiler gives cryptic errors. I am very capable of managing that (I have many years experience using a variety of old school compilers in the past), but I have no desire to repeat yet another compiler hell experience and waste my time fighting my tools, trying to diagnose where I have misunderstandings.

I haven’t yet tried programming rust, but I have read that error management and suggestions for correction in rust are superb. That makes a world of difference for a neophyte in a programming language.
