I agree and I’d say the semicolon days are about gone with all the automatic checks done on today’s code. Compared to what I had to endure when I took my first CS class with Java 18 years ago, typo bugs are far fewer. Beginner programmers lives have been greatly improved by IDE enhancements. Almost too much. In code reviews, I’ve seen stuff that is a brand new language construct. When I ask the dev about it, it’s just something that the IDE suggested as an improvement. “The IDE told me to” is a little scary, but maybe not any worse than a stackoverflow post.
