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

Amen

Yeah use notepad++ it's way more advanced, you damn neanderthals!

Not all languages are compiled. #DynamicLanguagesMatter

Try out some javascript

@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

I'll complain about whatever I want to complain about whenever the fuck I want!

Yes 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

To 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.

@randomCoder try jslint or strict mode on

Well some of us do use notepad but its notepad++ so no syntax error here.

@Lvh1 that's why we have pre-commit hooks and continuous integration!

or use your brain

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.

There 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.
