I, uh, actually kind of like the idea. If you just visually converted primitives to a toggle after you type true/false, and let you delete it like any other text, it could be a small convenience on any flags you might change during the development process.
Oh, I could easily see a trainwreck of an implementation. But if this was just a display option like color coding keywords and variables, but you could click to change the underlying true/false? I might add it.
More technical details in the full article ;)
As long as it’s not literally a toggle that you can interact with.
I can only imagine the horrors of accidentally clicking in the editor while selecting some text and quietly changing certificateIsValid = false; to true or something like that.
You know, I could find a few cases where this could have helped me troubleshoot stuff on the code.
Sounds like some condiment for the spaghetti.
Finally, I’ve been freed from my hellish burden.
