Which language are you using? IDE or no IDE, it's been a long time since I've used a language that doesn't get statically analyzed or linted while I type. E.g. Clang statically analyzes on the fly in Emacs. I certainly don't need to Google any errors as the error messages are helpful.

Some of the other stuff you mention is not a way long off if you use an IDE like Visual Studio, which, with or without Resharper does a lot of code analysis. You get notified if you have dead code (branches that never get ran), duplicate code (i.e., things that should be turned into a common method or class), etc.
