@tristanC That's an option! There's often cases where you know what the user wanted though, so you can provide a sensible AST that the toolchain can handle.
For example, a malformed string literal can still be parsed a string so type checking etc can be helpful.

Would you rather run a formally verified application on top of a conventional kernel/compiler toolchain, or a conventional application on verified kernel/compiler toolchain? Why?
Inform, the programming language built for writing interactive fiction (i.e. text adventure games), is now open source.
The compiler and toolchain may also be the largest literate programming codebase to date!
