> The type system is frankly disappointing, and the errors the compiler spits out at you (besides the most obvious ones) are almost always useless or gibberish and at times even more harmful than helpful.
I'd love to see examples of such errors. (And, ideally, accompanying code example)
I'm not at a desktop or laptop where I could provide you with a proper example, but the most obvious pain point is HOCs.
I was receiving an error complaining about a missing prop on a component I was wrapping with `injectIntl` from `react-intl` and could not for the life of me figure out what was wrong. Searching the type error wasn't helpful, and it wasn't until I really dug down and spent about a half hour of my time that I realized it was because we had something like `injectIntl(connect(foo, bar)(SomeComponent))` instead of `connect(foo, bar)(injectIntl(SomeComponent))`
The type error did not in any way make that clear or obvious. If I had to compare it to anything, it would probably be the type of error messages you see if you play around with type level programming/dependent types in Haskell. Or the types of error messages you see when writing Clojure.
