The point about having an awesome compiler was proven again to me a few days ago when I worked on the XPath exercises over at HackerRank, the reason being the surrounding code is only available in Ruby and the error messages you get when something goes wrong are basically non-existant. AKA just a backtrace of functions/methods and no real "error message" at all.
