Definitely also depends on the language. Here's e.g. Rust, the goddamn overachiever, pointing arrows and everything:
Often feels like, if you know where it needs to go, why ask me?
See, it's this trying to be overly friendly nonsense I hate about JS. If you need semicolons, demand them. Don't make it seem like you don't then make your code break because it hudes that you do. My first orogramming job was at large multinational japanese motor company and they had a hard rule over no in house exe's or opensource software. So the compromise was doing everything in JS. JS refused to listen to me on doing a single threaded for loop, just run the loop, wait a moment, run the next one, wait a moment...
JS, don't help me, just do as I say
Doesn't rust-analyser have the code suggestions that do fix it for you? It's not fixing automatically, but it does know where it needs to go and it's giving you a button that you click and it automatically fixes it
Oh yeah, it does. I'm not really complaining about fixing it myself. Mostly, I was joking that I felt like I'm unneeded. Rust-analyzer actually being able to fix it on its own, doesn't help in that sense either. 🙃
