I was reading this post about improving errors in Rust today, and I wanted to ask if there’s been discussion of doing similar things for Elixir?
I have found visual errors (i.e. errors where the content of the offending line is printed along with the error info in the console) in Elm, for example, to be incredibly helpful. I also often find I sometimes spend a fair amount of time searching through stack traces in Elixir to find the files that are present in my project when errors happen, so the idea of emphasizing those files over others sounds really good to me.
Is this on the roadmap? Thoughts on it?
