except nobody has to cater to every worst case scenario



I am sure the Rust community would welcome feedback from blind developers about their error messages. Accessibility is a good thing.


One thing that could help here is that the compiler is able to offer output in JSON, allowing you to format the messages however you'd like: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/json.html

I'm not aware of an existing tool to produce blind-friendly output, but this would at least be a part of that!


So every disabled programmer is now a "worst case scenario"?


Or in short, Rust isn't for disabled programmers?
