It _is_ rigged, but if a programmer is used to more mature languages where they don't run into compiler bugs, and they try out a new one where they _do_ run into compiler bugs, that's going to give a very negative impression. I don't know that there's much of anything that we can do about that though - other than fix bugs (especially the more important ones) as fast as we can. That's just the way it goes with a less mature language. We'll reach that level of stability eventually though, and we _have_ been making great strides with the huge number of bugs which have been fixed of late. - Jonathan M Davis
