Currently implementing error handling for a library I'm building and the process is basically to just throw all of the information I can find into there. It makes the error handling code quite verbose, but there's no easy way for me to know whether the underlying errors expose that information already, so this is actually easier to deal with. π«
Thank you, I hate it when libraries fail and don't give me good info, like failed to load doesn't help, failed to load because of syntax error on line 45 of input is soooo nice when that happens.
I appreciate verbosity. Itβs much nicer than the opposite.
