Compilers already check all paths because they have to. The 'art' of writing good code or being a proficient programmer is to write code such that the compiler can perform the checks itself. You essentially move what can be checked at runtime into something that is checked at compile time. This is what a strongly typed language will allow you to do. This requires more thought and effort from the programmer, which discourages them, as well as the fact that the majority of programmers don't understand this.

Is there anything scarier than one's own code?Yeah other peoples code that: - isn't indented correctly - happily deletes local arrays - returns pointers to local variables - fails to work - and are too dumb to realize how dumb they are.

Why do editors change blog posts?Hi I submitted my blog as a technical blog and a few posts on it came through to this site. They all were edited, some more than others. For the most part I don't have a problem with it except when it's a negative edit. In this case the editor messed up the syntax highlighting of the post. I'd just like to know the reasons for the edit, since the syntax highlighting in the original was correct and I'm inclined to roll it back. I'm not sure if anyone can see the original version but it's at tthis link: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ListVersions.aspx?aid=142578[^]
