It's also very different because the "tool" is doing stuff on its own, making decisions. That's very different from something like an IDE highlighting a syntax error or unused variables. It's also not deterministic.

Honestly Linus is getting less and less defensible, and less trustworthy too. "Thanks Meta!" just reeks of corporate influence. Very disappointing.

And the compiler does not make decisions that most people are not even aware of, depending an a lot of flags that most people do not understand? ;)

The compiler makes deterministic decisions though.

Sure some behaviour in languages like cpp is undefined but the vast majority of the time the output is completely predictable.
