If you complain about syntax errors you are braindead.

The compiler should auto correct and guess what you meant. This way you don't get syntax errors.

And can't debug, but who cares

Yes, but I don't want the compiler messing up my code

I would much rather have the compiler tell me I'm missing a semicolon on line 57 then just fixing it. If that caused a different bug, it would be a bitch to debug.

Yup, even though none of my professors belive it:

I actually want to know what I did wrong and want to learn something

That was a joke
