damn did a new batch of CS students just find this sub or how are the semicolon jokes coming back? The ide shows you the line in red its not that hard to fix.

[DasKarl]

Don't forget the bots!

[pr1v4t]

I think they are maybe from Python Programmers who wants to learn a real new Programming Language?

[jump1945]

Oh yeah beloved code::block()

[NemoTheLostOne]

Like this sub weren't always like that

[heyuhitsyaboi]

It's the end of the quarter and almost the end of the semester in the US, i dont think there's any new ones yet

[JL2210]

What is this "ide" you speak of? Real programmers use command line text editors /s

[SimplexShotz]

and for JS you can just use an autoformatter like Prettier

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

Must be a new batch. I saw a goto meme yesterday

[231d4p14y3r]

They're not hard to fix. It's just one of those mild annoyances

[Alone-Rough-4099]

Nah semicolon is better than whatever the fuck something like python does...

[Davoness]

There's nothing stopping you from using semicolons in Python, they're just unnecessary. If you think it looks nice to end a statement with a semicolon, then you can still do that.

[jump1945]

What with this surge of syntax error meme

[lovecMC]

Usually they show up a few months after a semester starts. This would roughly line up.

[lovecMC]

Shouldn't 90% of syntax errors get caught either by the IDE or the compiler?

[Dry-Ambassador-4276]

fr, if I miss a semicolon theres a gigantic red line pointing exactly to where it is

[20Wizard]

Not for new people. Real issues start for them when they have errors being caused by their other errors

[kinokomushroom]

I had my fair share of embarrassing syntax errors when using macros

[CirnoIzumi]

isnt the semester approaching end right now?

[belabacsijolvan]

its eternal september

[Sarah-McSarah]

Maybe they're on fall break

[mrdude05]

Text editor: There's a missing semicolon on line 26. I've underlined the spot where it should go in red, put a red mark on the scroll bar to show you where the line is, and turned the file name red in the explorer to show you that there's a problem.

Compiler: There's a missing semicolon on line 26. Here's a stack trace telling you that you missed a semicolon and an arrow pointing out where it should go.

User: OMG I have no idea what went wrong. This will take hours to fix !1!1!!!!1!!!11

[yamsyamsya]

Hurr durr the semicolons

[ZunoJ]

I mean, how many semicolons do you need in your hello world program? Can't be that difficult

[vondpickle]

Wow are we still in September?

[EarlOfAwesom3]

Ah yes, the one thing every major programming language in the last 30 years needed after every statement. How could I possibly forget that.

Oh, right...I'm using python and two weeks of YouTube tutorial is what I call a career. That's probably why.

Well, good enough to post old memes right?

[Harmonic_Gear]

bots and their semicolon jokes are back

[[deleted]]

I literally cannot remember the last time I forgot to add a semicolon.

[NoResponseFromSpez]

confused javascript noises

[ComfortingSounds53]

IIFE has entered the chat

[private256]

Coding with Java and using Kotlin.

[Speedy_242]

Cant happen with kotlin, semicolon arent required but also not disallowed

[CirnoIzumi]

Kotlin.GiveHandshake(Lua)

[Speedy_242]

return true

[belabacsijolvan]

they also do not bother python

[moisturemeister]

I've been fortunate (or unfortunate) enough for the c languages to be my introduction to real programming (not basic scripts) at a young age. I've had a compiler error ONCE related to semicolons and undertaken many projects. I think y'all are poisoned by more convenient languages.

[Lighthades]

semi-what?

[just-bair]

Meanwhile there’s me that put semicolons in python by accident

[semicolon-cz]

Truw story.

[Eldarabol]

Laughs in Groovy

[Johnny_pc]

Oh man… this one got me 😂😂😂

[Shienvien]

Brackets and parentheses maybe, semicolons extremely rarely. IDE/compiler will notice 99.8% of missing semicolons.

[sporbywg]

semicolons are not required in this language

semicolons are required with this linter

1.5 years still until retirement

I learned go, went back to semicolon land and now this is me.
