pendantic terminology question
when a compiler refuses to compile source code due to an error in that code, is it appurropurriate to describe this behavior as the compiler “throwing”?
re: pendantic terminology question
@aescling throwing is a runtime concept
re: pendantic terminology question
@wallhackio what do you mean by this response?
re: pendantic terminology question
@aescling an error/exception is thrown at runtime. you cant throw an error during compilation its a non-sequitor
re: pendantic terminology question
@wallhackio compilers don’t have runtimes?
re: pendantic terminology question
@wallhackio (which is to say, you think that? because, pedantically speaking, compilers have runtimes, and can absol-utely throw exceptions during that runtime)
