Hi,
I think compiler errors are displayed too promptly.
As soon as you stop thinking about what to write an obvious error reporting appears.
Something like

List l = 
c.
if (cond &&

or other incomplete statements.
I think this is quite distracting and helps little.
I think it could be more useful if errors are displayed only when a "complete
statement" is typed.
For simple line just wait for semicolon. For loops and conditional wait for
first line of body or something like that.

There are currently no plans to change this.

Get rid of deprecated state.
