In fact I bet the numbers are VERY high.

In special if you try a NEW lang. Lets say I wanna check elm, I try it a little then BANG! weird errors. I will quit, not matter how cool the lang is.

When learning something new, even if you are experienced (I have used professionally more than 12+ langs now) you "budget" to learn something is low: New syntax? New paradigm? hard to install? Limited tooling? Nothing work? Not stackoverflow explains of that error?

You quit in any step of this chain. I glad ELM designer is smart to fix one of them

BTW: Rust is similar here. It have decent error messages.
