Counter-intuitively, if you're writing a parser for a programming language, you need it to be a total function. As soon as you build IDE tooling, you need ASTs from invalid or incomplete input.
The parser should return (Ast, List<Error>) rather than Result<Ast, Error>.
I've been compilation buffers in Emacs recently and I really appreciate the error and warning counts shown in the modeline.
I've added the equivalent feature to deadgrep: it shows result counts! Really useful when you're doing big refactorings.
