Quite enjoyable. Some compiler errors are a pain.

What an understatement :)

It’s a lovely language but the compiler has got to be the most unreliable I’ve ever seen.

It crashes semi-frequently. And it will sometimes try to run analyses that are way beyond O(n). So you can have perfectly valid code that it can’t compile, until you simplify or reduce the size of some function.
