Jun 27, 2018 at 13:17 comment added Ciaran_McCarthy I've no idea why, but I read the question as "longer". Damn. Now that I think about it, that makes more sense as a challenge too...
Jun 27, 2018 at 13:14 comment added lukass The question requires an error message shorter than the program: > Write the shortest program that, when compiled or executed, produces a fatal error message smaller than the program itself.
