Wouldn't most development programs tell them the syntax error on the line and column where you replaced the semicolon
This wouldn't work
It would work for someone just starting and not knowing good tooling yet. However, the compiler should also tell you where to look and give you the area to look at as well. It'll be less clear than an IDE, though.
