Very good idea, but I don't program that way. I use a competent IDE to tell me syntax errors and obvious programming mistakes while I write. If I can't debug my algorithm with trial & error I write a test first and modify my algorithm until it complies with the test. To think that a programmer will always come up with the exact and most optimal solution to any given problem is a bit naïve. In my 10 years as a programmer I have never seen one wonder-kid that is able to do that. The real wonder kid assets in a team also tend to be those that are more creative than syntax-anal compared to those that can write syntax-error-free-code with pen and pencil and remember large parts of a phonebook...
