I'm fairly new to IDL programming. I'm finding that IDL
does it's job well, but it doesn't help me or the rest of my team
do ours very well!
As experienced C/C++ programmers we really miss a
compiler that can warn that we've messed up a calling sequence or
done something that's probably dumb as far as data typing goes.
We are finding that we're spending a lot of time doing "desk
checking" to catch things that a complier catches. Does anyone
have a "lint" like program for IDL or are we going to have to
learn to be VERY careful when we code? Does anyone have
recommended coding standards that might help. We're using a
"Hungarian notation" derivative to help keep data typing under
control - that's been a help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions that folks might have.

But a lot cheaper! I guess there isn't an IDL option for
LSE (and mayube there isn't likely to be one).
I liked LSE when I used to use it.
