It _is_ rigged, but if a programmer is used to more mature languages where 
they don't run into compiler bugs, and they try out a new one where they 
_do_ run into compiler bugs, that's going to give a very negative 
impression. I don't know that there's much of anything that we can do about 
that though - other than fix bugs (especially the more important ones) as 
fast as we can. That's just the way it goes with a less mature language. 
We'll reach that level of stability eventually though, and we _have_ been 
making great strides with the huge number of bugs which have been fixed of 
late.
