meaningfull error messages

Bernd,

sometimes the current error Messages are too general and don't help to locate the offending statement. If e.g. the parse expects "As" and finds "as" it should tell just that. I think this puts a large burden on newbies.

Kind regards
Udo

To implement a more meaningful error output will be a bigger task. V2 will come with it, I think.

Bernd,

thanks for the answer. Do you have an obj-b grammar at hand that could be used as a starting point for volunteers?

Kind regards
Udo

Information about the syntax (what keywords etc.) is in the documentation. (in the essentials doc, I think)
Having an project explaining and showing all syntax possibilities would be nice as well. Maybe this is a start for volunteers?
