@devios1 true, but code analysis can still be done before running, saving you from the runtime errors

@randomCoder IDEs and code editors can pick up typos for you. Or you could use a linter

Lvh1357yYes please, I hate how some of my coworkers refuse to use proper tools, and as a result they commit typos and syntax errors that an IDE would've easily caught

Noob64667yTo be fair I use notepad a lot.
Even though I love SublimeText and use it daily I still use notepad a lot.
But I do agree with the rant. -
Ahhh remembering the words of my boss as i took in a position at his dev company:
"What i like about asp is that you can open notepad, config something and it works!"
I smiled, nodded politely and gulped down on my beer feeling weird about my career decissions.
True story, the team is still fascinated at me using Sublime at work. I cry to sleep sometimes. -
elazar10307yThere are very few languages that cannot be parsed statically. Don't use them.
Javascript can be parsed statically.
Technically, C++ cannot, but in practice it can. Same goes for C macros - don't use obscure macros.
It's 2017 and you're not allowed to complain about syntax error bugs. Get a proper tool for the job.
We don't use rocks for hammers, and we don't use notepad for coding
