If you miss a parenthesis the lint is gonna tell you "bruh, you messed up" and then you're gonna fix it. Even if you're a boomer who uses notepad or some shit 90% of the time if the issue is just a missing semicolon it will be pretty clear what the issue is or at least where it is (after all compilers often tell you what line shat the bed). And my school is fucking Applied Math and Physics, not even coding.

Any coding program is going to easily highlight it with like a color code or indicator

Eh linters are pretty good these days so thats not really an issue so much as a stale meme.
