this implies you are able to read plain English

of course this implies you are able to read plain English error messages

often when I try to read Spring source, even simple parts like /LuaSyncedRead.cpp, I'm confused. I find it insulting to claim that reading Spring souce is as easy as reading plain english.

I find it insulting to be misquoted and to claim things I've never said.

"plain English error messages" are mostly given e.g. when spring crashes or when you have broken lua code. The point was some fail even to read and understand those.

I never said spring source code is as easy to read as plain English text.

Not all 'plain english error messages' are actually accurate though, c.f. 'cannot find wreckage info'

Yeah, but most Lua error tell you precisely the file and line where the error occured, and that makes debugging very easy. Plus it crash very softly: just an error message, sometimes the offending file unloaded, but no crash of game.
