Would probably be more effective to mess with Linux config files that use semicolons. Especially if it’s run as a daemon because Systemctl doesn’t always return helpful error messages for configuration errors.
I think most daemons would log a helpful enough error message regarding incorrect syntax e.g. if it’s a config file of variable=value; format then it wouldn’t expect two equals signs on the same line.
What exactly do you think you can do with this?
Chaotic evil linting rules
Take someone’s source code, replace all semi colons with Greek question marks and see if they can compile. But as others said, any IDE will help.
You’re just going to get syntax errors though
Not if you choose to replace the correct ones at the correct place and it is a compiler which automatically ignores this wrong semicolon.
You could connect two lines, which may still “work” if not split using a semicolon and are then interpreted as one single line.
You are right … but, you’re not thinking big enough.
Think … sticky tape on the bottom of a mouse.
Not all! Just one or two per file.
Just the last one, right before the EOF.
Speaking of EOF, I wonder what a heredoc might do with this 😇
Hmm … bash.
mess with whoever has the least modern ide? I’m sure there’s something else too hold on

I too wish to see these not-so-helpful error messages (not denying just new)
