I dunno. That set of information about exotic type choices helps me very often. And I can always ignore it when it's not useful.

The bunch of "yes, compiled that module, everything is all right" messages in between them and warnings not surviving a second compilation bother me much more than the error messages. But learning to read the messages was not easy.

I did mention that right off the bat. I made it sound unreasonable for comedic purposes, but breaking the jerk I actually do really like Haskell, and Haskell error messages.
