I enjoyed the joke but yeah I thought Rust was known for quite good error messages in general. I haven't used it though myself.
Rust's compiler is more picky than most, but is really impressive in how it explains the errors and advises on how to fix them. It's a really good feature of Rust.
The problem is ides inlining only part of the error and generally skip all the helpful text on how to fix the error.
Expansion dropdowns are nice.
They make it easier to fit in many errors in a small widgetand provide the user the option to see the rest of the error right there.
Then you have the option in the context menu to go to the actual error text.
I expect these things to be basically available in my IDE
