It reminds me of one of the reasons that Bryan Cantrill thinks that many folks use Linux - they want to be able to google their stack traces. Of course, that same argument would be a reason to use C/C++ rather than switching to D, but having an error be in a format that's more common and therefore more likely to have been posted somewhere where you might be able to find a discussion on it and therefore maybe be able to find the solution for it can be valuable - and that's without even getting into all of the translation issues discussed elsewher in this thread. And it's not like compiler error messages - or programming speak in general - are really traditional English anyway. - Jonathan M Davis
