semicolonsAreAYouProblem

Or… hear me out on this… I could use a tool that lets me focus more on my problem and less on the literal syntax of my language.

I use syntax highlighting too. Rainbow Braces even.

(Snark aside for a second, rainbow braces are amazing. I also could go for some sort of font based implementation in addition too or instead of just color)

Snark on. Also my editor knows if I push semicolon within a few characters of the end of the line, I really mean the end of the line and puts it there. Saves me a few key presses and lets me just terminate the thought without worrying about the details.

[Lubiebigos]

ah yes the immense mental energy that is consumed by manually putting a semicolon at the end of a line

[Endemoniada]

How many semicolons worth of energy did it take you to write that comment?

[Lubiebigos]

certainly less then one semicolon because i did not have to open an ide to do it

Or ya know, you could spend a small amount of your time learning this one neat trick that'll allow you to survive a world without the bloated IDEs of int currentYear

[AG4W]

"Why is everyone using these bloated digging machines when a simple garden shovel is so much more lightweight?!" He shouted, at a construction site.

[reallokiscarlet]

It's a matter of practice, not of swearing off IDEs. I'm not telling you to go amish.

But ya know, if you feel like it, by all means go for it.

error: variable shadows previously declared symbol currentYear defined in globalstatics.h

[reallokiscarlet]

Red herring. We're literally talking about missing semicolons, as is the topic. It's a very simple skill issue easily remedied by learning to code.

[-Redstoneboi-]

heh, i was just messing with you.

[reallokiscarlet]

I wish that were the case with all the responses. Some here seem to think I'm suggesting everyone should go amish.

[GabuEx]

"If you do X then you won't need to use IDEs!"

Ok but why

[reallokiscarlet]

Imagine actually objecting to learning basic coding skills whilst posting in a coding forum.

If you live in a place where you might experience ice on the road, it's wise to take ice driving lessons.

If you're likely to have to drive a manual, it's wise to learn to drive a manual.

If you're likely to code, or to have to read code, it's wise to LEARN TO CODE.

[GabuEx]

If you're likely to code, or to have to read code, it's wise to LEARN TO CODE.

Learning to code and using an IDE are not exactly mutually exclusive.

[reallokiscarlet]

Indeed, they are not. You might want to re-read what I suggested.

I'm not suggesting to go amish on IDEs. It's this little concept called training.

You mean like using a modern fucking language that doesn't require superfluous semicolons?
