A compiler in 2024 should be able to handle a function of 100 lines. That's like 1.5 screen heights of code for me, pretty normal! I'd have some sympathy if the function was 10,000 lines, but it'll happen with a 15 line block or a 30 line block or a 60 line block.
I've written code in a bunch of languages and it's the first time that a compiler refuses to compile something, but can't tell me why or which expression is incorrect. "There's something wrong with your function" then I have to go play type checker and hover over every expression wondering what the issue is? I'm just shocked about it every time it happens.
