Today's IDEs are better suited for type-checking and general "saving us from ourselves" than the actual compilers or script processors. Witness JS Lint. If an IDE sees that we are using nSomething as a string, rather than a number, an IDE can tell us that while we are writing the code. We can also configure an IDE as to how much we want to know. Rather than have a standard way of defining a class, how about if we had a standard way of documenting a class; a way that an IDE could use to help us write better and safer programs. * http://scriptdoc.org/ * http://code.google.com/p/yazaar/wiki/Taglets -Ted.
