And Swift compiler crashes aren’t even rare. You get used to it and learn how to track down the code that caused it.

I think I’ve seen a C compiler crash once or maybe twice, ever.

The fact that a compiler is crashing really makes me shiver. If the compiler is crashing because of unexpected combinations, then what about the generated code ?

There were also issues in the generated code, yeah.

But to be fair that front has been hugely enhanced; it’s been a very long while since I’ve since the Swift compiler crash (and I do weird stuff too).
