@catoutofbed that's not the unix way, tho

why do you think systems like rust and elm must put *so* *much* effort into producing sensible and usable errors?

it goes against the grain of any and every system that they are built upon

incidentally, this is why i get so mad at people who cite "the unix way" against systemd: what exactly is the unix way? and how do you turn it and twist it to be more user friendly? or more computer friendly? instead of neither.
