Hello D Community Members,

I am seeking a mentor to guide me on a project to improve error 
messages in the DMD compiler. This project is a part of Symmetry 
Autumn of Code (SAOC) 2024.

You can find the details of my project on GitHub: [Improve D 
Error 
Messages](https://github.com/dlang/project-ideas/blob/master/improve-d-error-messages/description.md).

More details about SAOC 2024 can be found here: 
[SAOC](https://saoc.io/).

If you have experience with compiler development and are 
interested in mentoring, or if you have any suggestions, please 
let me know.

Thank you!

Exciting project!

I'm not sure if it's of any use, but I have 2 unsuccessful PRs 
addressing error messages:

1. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/12526 - the code is awful 
(and outdated), don't even bother looking at it, but the PR 
descriptions + comments grants some insight and links into 
previous discussions around error messages.

2. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/15197 - a slightly more 
structured approach code-wise, though doesn't have much in the 
way of discussions like the other PR does. A good example of what 
_not_ to do still though.

I'll review the PR descriptions and comments to gain more insight 
into the discussions around error messages.

I wrote the original proposal for this one, very happy to mentor 
you if you apply.

Hi Pinto,

Even though Max would be your formal mentor, I can also 
assist/help you to get things rolling.

Regards,
RazvanN
