mathematical impossibility

given the state space of things, it seems to me to be mathematically impossible to ever really get it right.

 

consider a compiler. unless you are stuck with a super basic Forth or a super minimal Lisp, the explosion of syntax possibilities is just not something that can be managed.

 

even the semantics get hard quickly, especially if there's static checkers (types, borrows) involved.
