Fun fact: This trick does not work with CSS.

Darn syntax error. Find replace. Done.

Or use a language where the greek question mark properly decomposes into a semicolon so you don't have to worry about it. (Perl 6)
phrayezzen
JavaScript doesn't even require semicolons
ComicShop
"Hmm.. why's there a red squiggly under that semicolon? Let me delete it and see.. oh, it's fixed!"

Calm down, Hitler.

As an aspiring programmer, this wouldn't work very well. A lot of programs are developed on programs to make it easier to code and....
Mongolas
there are built in features in the program that tells you and shows you exactly where the issues are. Showing the line where the issue is.

Then run the debug and find it

people who do javascript are not my friends

A proper IDE would detect/inform about this in a split second.

I always downvote 9gag.
lrrwahn
Me too. Even in big posts I'm spotting this fucking watermark
SherMattLockSmith
nope, copies as a semicolon to me.

Is this really how you ask a question in Greek;
DistastefulHumorAboutCrocodiles
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy... just kidding I'm about to go do this to 11 different people.
Kangarou
You're about to lose 11 acquaintances. Also, hope no one knows what car you drive.
Genini
You know 11 people who code in an IDE that won't highlight an error?
awesock
It will highlight it but it takes a while for most people to just give up and retype the line

As someone who painstakingly taught himself JavaScript in high school... I would kill you with my bare hands.

I've got good news and bad news: if your syntax highlighting is decent, this will not work
Saundersmtt
Emacs is really helpful for that

Returning to this comment, I've fallen in love with VIM, and it has syntax coloring

Pretty sure Visual Studio would flag it as 'unexpected string literal' or somesuch.
ZacMuerte
the problem is that I've used a lot of IDEs that will randomly throw "expected semicolon" when there is a semicolon. However, usually
ZacMuerte
I try re-typing the semicolon to try to get the error checker to find it. Intellisense is kinda weird. Very powerful, but weird.
ZacMuerte
if I could streamline the process from visual studio to compiling for a microcontroller, I totally would. I miss intelisense so much...
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
Try VS Code, it's way more lightweight than VS, can hook back into VS for building if you want that
ZacMuerte
VS building was nice for projects made 100% inside of it, nightmares for everything else. How does it compare to sublime w/ clang?
ZacMuerte
well it's doing one thing right: it's not spitting out 222 "errors" because it doesn't like that I use a couple libraries that use ASM

File this in the 'things that worked in 1996, but don't really do much anymore' drawer. Like screenshotting and hiding the desktop.

Hottstepper
Yea the syntax error wont really work anymore, but you definitely still can hide the desktop with a screenshot. Its fun to this day.
xochiluvr
screenshotting and hiding the desktop still works for android, trust me. ;)
AmpsterMan
Yeah. I just finished a programming 101 course and realize why this doesn't work... NetBeans would immediately throw a compile error!
awesock
Right but for some really shitty lDEs it might be difficult to identify and that's not the kinda thing one checks for
goodisunpopular
'scuse you, I still have people fall for the screenshot trick. Also, tape on the mouse sensor is still worth a couple chuckles.
CatsStealYourSoul
File this in reposters anonymous and laugh because @OP has never coded in his life.

Unless you're writing all your code by hand, any decent IDE highlights the location of syntax errors.

what, you don't write your code in notepad?
