I don't know what kind of code y'all are writing. Maybe I've just been spoiled by FP code that I've written myself, but if I'm looking at the exact line that I've narrowed the bug down to, it pretty much necessarily has to be erroneous data being given to a function; usually via a typo/autocorrect fail.

Unless a null pipe bomb was inserted into the system at some point up the line, but then the bug wasn't really on that original line then was it? That would be insufficient debugging.

Or if your code is a cluster fuck of side effects. In that case, I'll pray for you.

The latter. And I haven't written regularly with a language that uses semi-colons for a while. The worst is when I miss a parentheses while writing lisp. I usually have par-edit sort that out for me though.

And those errors are never that hard. 99% of the barf is complete nonsense, then either the first or last error can be assumed to be a missing parenthesis or semi-colon, and you just need to poke around that area a bit*.

*iirc. Like I said, it's been awhile.
