Ballerina-lang: Improve Internal Error Message

Created on 29 Apr 2018  路  7Comments  路  Source: ballerina-platform/ballerina-lang

The part, "We thank you for helping make us better dancers." seems to have a grammar issue. Maybe we can change it a bit to become like "We thank you for helping us become better dancers".

Let's reword the message as follows:

Oh no, something went wrong.

The "ballerina-internal.log" file located in the current directory will indicate what the problem is.
We REALLY appreciate it if you can share the code that broke Ballerina with us together with this log file by creating a bug report on https://github.com/ballerina-platform/ballerina-lang/issues.

Thank you for helping us to improve Ballerina.

+1 but I think its ok .. lets ask Jackie ;-).

Okay :) @appellj

I'd go with "We thank you for helping us to become better dancers" (insert "to) or, if you want to use even more word play, "We thank you for helping us to improve our dance steps."

Doesn't that last part about becoming better dancers sound odd? I like the second one @appellj suggested more: "We thank you for helping us to improve our dance steps.". But dance steps still feel a bit too literal. How about something like "We thank you for helping us to improve our craft." or some other word which wouldn't stretch the ballerina narrative too far?

Maybe we should go with: "Thank you for helping us to improve our performance." That's a much more subtle play on words.
