“Hallmark of the Stupid”-Series – First Instalment – Velocity
There is a lot of nasty stuff to be said about velocity, but today I complain about it’s stupid whitespace-ridden syntax and it’s equally stupid error messages. I just got this one:
Parser Exception: templates/myoldtemplate.vm
Encountered "}" at line 19, column 101.
Was expecting one of: "," ... "}" ... ... ...
Speaking of syntax, you have a grammar error that sticks out like a sore thumb for us who are sensitive to it. I will leave the exercise of finding it with you.
Good one to point out, but don’t get me started about the syntax and the spelling of the English language…
