JADE Environment Development Ideas

Another one I just thought of, a spell check would be great for literals in code

It would also be great to see features, like unused variables or inaccessible code being grayed out.

This is being considered as part of a larger review of the language and compiler.

Could also include Casting that is not required for example "thisIsAString.String" "customer.Customer"

I think I better name for this could be "compiler warnings"

Note in the more recent versions of Jade, static analysis is available:

That said, doing it real time has a greater potential to improve the quality of our code and speed up development.

Some options to consider alongside the basic idea:
- Preferences dictate whether it?s available or not, as this may not be for everyone. Some specific warnings might be ?noise? depending on what you?re trying to do.

- Fix/FixAll hotkey options alongside the warnings - oh the pleasure!

- User hooks are made available, so there would be opportunity for us to write our own warnings. These could then be shared amongst the community, or simply used inhouse to help with internal coding standards / best practice.
