Is auto completion really useful, if it's a lot slower than the rest of the program? Maybe if a part is too slow, you should either optimize it or get rid of it

- oblio 10y agoWell, considering that as far as developer tools are concerned many of the best sellers are IDEs with Intellisense (intelligent code completion, based on syntax and semantics)...
- viraptor 10y agoSometimes you want the autocompletion, sometimes you don't. You can do it in synchronous style, where you have 2 choices: a) delay the typing when the user doesn't care about the autocomp, b) require an extra action to activate autocomp when the user wants it. You can also do it async style and have neither of the drawbacks - if the user types too quickly, the autocomp just doesn't show up.
