This is just so not true. The compiler walks through very simple errors. Sure, it points you in a direction, but the compiler's messages are not nearly as helpful with lifetimes and borrowing. So yes, it is indeed very difficult. So is writing safe code.
I disagree, I find the compiler very helpful for these issues. It's clearly shows me why I'm trying to do something I shouldn't be doing, and why it's problematic.
From humble beginnings at an MSP, I've adventured through life as a sysadmin, into an engineer, and finally landed as a developer focused on fixing problems with automation.
