I'ld say in java you get more than 95 percent of IDE checking - but there are fringe cases like bad jarpaths, not totally validated installs and of course attempts to write more generic code<g>. But the attempts needed to create an error-free compile are drastically reduced.

On a RAM-heavy machine with eclipse it is a real helper. Yes, some of that can be used by dynaminc laguages as well, but there the hurdles MUCH higher as they often do do things difficult/extremely verbose in staically typed single inheritance languages.

I guess LINT-ing style checking will be needed for enterprize settings in dynamic languages much longer...
