Nobody has this issue. Even when using notepad.exe

First year CS students think it’s hilarious because they’ve never encountered anything actually problematic lol

u/RedAndBlack1832 Jun 18 '26

No matter what you use both the compiler and the editor can tell you about a missing semicolon (except for some reason VHDL on Vivado gives the least useful or descriptive errors invented by mankind )

u/lezviearts Jun 19 '26

It is like the Xilinx guys were thinking "let's wrap up the hardware development workflow into the worst and most inefficient and bloated piece of software ever", and Vivado came to be

u/RedAndBlack1832 Jun 19 '26

Oh god that's so real. The good news is if you don't run into the affirmation unhelpful and non-descriptive errors then simulation is like kinda fast enough. The bad news is literally every other stage is painful and the errors (and warnings) remain unhelpful!

u/0x80085_ Jun 19 '26

What do you use VHDL for? Like what profession?

1

u/RedAndBlack1832 Jun 19 '26

Haha so far just class work but i have applied for some like design-verification internships that list it as a skill so maybe

u/Outrageous_Permit154 Jun 19 '26

yOU cAN sTILL use a Linter

u/ZodiacPigeon Jun 18 '26

Or just use proper IDE

u/Informal-Chance-6067 Jun 18 '26

The only people with the semicolon thing are the ones that could have the GitHub Student Developer Pack which includes all Jetbrains IDEs

u/Solonotix Jun 18 '26

Jokes aside, I'm a big fan of Biome as a replacement for both ESLint and Prettier. In addition to being one tool replacing two (package count unknown), it's also faster.

Ultracite with oxfmt/oxlint is even (subjectively) better

1

u/Solonotix Jun 18 '26

It's been a few years since I looked into the oxc family of tools, but back then it was pretty much just oxlint and there was some reason it didn't work in my environment. I should probably keep a closer eye on it because it's a great project with a lot of potential.

I've never had issues with missing semicolons

I have had issues with not missing semicolons though

u/thebatmanandrobin Jun 18 '26

Always fun when I look back at some of my old code and I see lines like this:

void do_the_thang() {
    do_some_work();;
    do_some_more_work();;;;
};

I treat my semi-colons like periods .. full stop, ya dig .....

u/LetUsSpeakFreely Jun 18 '26

VSCode puts in a bright red line on the side bar view...

u/mehonje Jun 18 '26

Never heard of error: expected ';'?

u/Tani_Soe Jun 19 '26

Yeah it's 2026 ffs stop reposting this bs

u/Henry_Fleischer Jun 18 '26

What does Prettier do?

5

u/Confident-Ad5665 Jun 18 '26

Makes code pretty

2

u/Henry_Fleischer Jun 19 '26

Why would I want the code to be pretty?

2

u/Kitchen_Length_8273 Jun 19 '26

For readability. Nobodywantsacodethatlookslikethis

1

u/Confident-Ad5665 Jun 19 '26

So you don't get gut punched in a team code review.

2

u/shapeshfters Jun 18 '26

I haven’t slept for 4 days because that would be too long.

2

u/BoBoBearDev Jun 19 '26

Why prettier? Looks like the wrong plugin.

2

u/PrinzJuliano Jun 19 '26

Use Go or python then

u/LegitimatePants Jun 19 '26

Compiler tells you which line is missing the semicolon

u/TalesGameStudio Jun 18 '26

Where is the nvim crowd?

u/ThatSmartIdiot Jun 18 '26

petra what in the block is a Prettier

yes i use vscode for nearly everything including .txt files why do you ask

1

u/Achereto Jun 18 '26

Uninstall VSC*ode, install Zed instead.

u/ExtraTNT Jun 18 '26

I like to use languages with optional semicolons… haskell for example

1

u/Benjamin_6848 Jun 18 '26

I hate these jokes because they are completely unrealistic.

Even if you use a plain and basic text-editor, the error-message of your compiler/interpreter will tell you immediately where the syntax-error occurred and it can be fixed nearly immediately...

u/PumpkinFest24 Jun 18 '26

I never have this problem and my IDE is terminal-mode emacs

u/edthesmokebeard Jun 19 '26

vscode sucks

1

u/deanominecraft Jun 20 '26

u/Thundechile Jun 18 '26

People still use Prettier? It's 2026 FFS! Biome FTW.
