Well then I disagree with Walter on this as well. What's wrong
with having a "standard" toolset in the same way you have
standard libraries? It's unrealistic to think people (at large)
will be writing any sort of serious application outside of a
modern IDE. I'm not saying it's Walters job to write IDE
integration, only that the language design shouldn't cater to
the smaller use-case scenario.
Cleaner code is easier to read and, within an IDE with
tooltips, makes little difference when looking at the
hierarchy. If you want to be hard-core about it, no one is
stopping you from explicitly qualifying each definition.
Debugger is the single tool in VisualStudio that i failed to
replace in unix land.
I have tried many of them and they all sucked. They are either
incomplete or crash too often. Command line gdb is not much of an
option. The situation is so bad that looks like i need to go back
to the VisualC++/gvim combo.
