I have rapidly skimmed over the few responses here. Auto completion is
definitly possible in dynamic languages: Common Lisp has it with its
Emacs mode, SLIME.
If you're in a slime buffer, you type (get-un then press C-c Tab and
Emacs will auto-complete with (get-universal-time), if there are many

Why? Is your programming speed really limited by the difference
between typing "lean" and hitting ? If typing speed is
the limitation - go get

I'm primarily a VB programmer, but I also do Java and web stuff as well.
Whenever I look at a new IDE the FIRST thing I lo
Well, there are two distinct features of IntelliSense as you know it.
One is auto-completion and the other is contextual help.
Auto-completion is included almost all beefy Python IDE's.
Contextual help is included even in IDLE, where if you begin typing a
function call, its docstring pops up arou
Intellisense does improve programmer productivity as
you do not have to keep opening header files to refer
to the interfaces. In VC++ the intellisense display
also shows the function header comment, so you have
full access to the information about the interface.

To me I found the intellisense in VS for C++ was somewhat helpful in my
earliest stage of learning where I had to look up how many args a function
had. After a while, I
my opinion is that if you find it useful, use it. if you don't then
don't... either way, its up to you to decide what's useful and what's
not. don't ask us. Try it out yourself.

Yesterday I typed in some C++ code that called a function with two
ints. Intellisense (auto-complete) helpfully told me that the first
formal parameter was called "frontLight" and the second "ringLight". It
occurred to me that I'm getting some semantic help here on top of the
obvious type safety. I
