Today in great compiler errors, turns out that:
Argument of type 'Component<typename, unknown>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.
Means I misspelled a member name in TypeName.
I loathe this language.

modern languages, once you get beyond trivial code, are terrible with error messages. A bunch of times with Swift I get a bizarro error, and end up having to comment out chunks of stuff in closures to try to narrow it down. And because it's such bondage and discipline, to do that I often need to change other code, just to figure out the stupid error.

I think I've gotten a little spoiled by Rust, though the answer there seems to be randomly insert <'a> or <'_> until the error goes away.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
