Best to revisit all error messages and make them better. A good influence here can be Rust error messages, as described here: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/08/10/Shape-of-errors-to-come.html

Properties error messages need to fulfil:

  • Absolutely clear what the issue is for a human
  • Be specific where the issue is
  • If possible, how to fix the issue
  • Visually clarity
  • A stable error code (cannot change in future releases) to reference with more information
