I'm experimenting with diagnostics formatting. * I've added a left margin, showing both the file name and line numbers * I'm showing one line of context above/below the offending line. * I'm using grey for comments. What do you think? Is there anything you'd change?

I'm having fun writing a simple type checker, but I'm learning firsthand why syntax-directed checking doesn't work. It prevents inference. My checker catches real bugs, but it can't handle cases like this: [1, 2].map(fun(x) { x + 1; }) I think I need bidirectional checking.

Do any tech streamers try new software live? It'd be a really fun way of doing UX testing.
