Just understand the language and have a few generic code snippets available in your editor. They are called Code Templates or Live Templates in the JetBrain IDE family, but I'm sure your editor has them as well. I don't know if their is a standardized code template format (?). Here's an example: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/live-templates.html https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/live-templates.html That and jshint/eslint (for my javascript).
