- stkdump 7y agoAutocomplete is one thing. Getting a list of suggestions is more important, because you might not know the name of the function.
- UserIsUnused 7y agoI agree, I guess that noum.verb() is indeed better to find those
- wvenable 7y agoKnowing what you can and can't do with an object is the time consuming part. Once you know that answer, the writing is relatively insignificant.
- coldtea 7y agoThat's not a big argument, as a process doesn't have to be "the most" time consuming part of programming to have a big negative impact. Annoying context switches and slowdowns to lookup function naming and possible options (without autocomplete) can still interfere with the flow of a programmer as he writes a program...
- scarejunba 7y agoTo test that this argument doesn't work, consider introducing a 400 ms delay on your keystrokes. Writing will still be the least time consuming task. Then compare with code you write without the delay. I have a reasonable hypothesis how the test will turn out.
