In the early days of microcomputing memory was severely limited and
error codes were used to save space. But how much need today and
what's wrong with ABORT"?
I don't use forth for scripting which might require sending codes and
can't think of an app where I've used codes. Is the ANS list of
error codes aimed at special needs? Because FWIW I'm not feeling any.
Maybe (targetting [embedded] apps for) users that don't speak English?
True. OTOH multilingual apps present a bigger problem than error msgs.
I recall my telecom days when the bulk of the equipment was Siemens and
technical manuals needed to be in English. The scale was such it would
have required a sizeable department just for that.
