I agree that tooling for JVM languages, Go, and C# are better at that, but clang and Jetbrains' CLion has helped close that gap. They've done a lot to make refactoring a lot easier, find errors better, and not have to compile just to find obvious mistakes. Newer languages are much better designed for IDE/tooling support in general, with stronger type systems in a lot of cases.


Jetbrains has put a similar amount of work into tools like Rider, it's just that they're starting from a language where these problems are much simpler to deal with.
