>I wrote many bug free codebases with it, that's my experience.

Prove it. You seem to be claiming to be qualitatively superior to most developers, since most developers use an IDE or tool of some sort, so let's see an example of this nontrivial bug free code you've written.

Especially the tests should prove it. In almost none of the comments I see thorough testing is taken into consideration. No IDE can replace good tests today AFAIK.

Without types you need more tests to have confidence though.

That's as easy to prove as that there isn't an invisible, indetectable pink unicorn standing right behind you as you read this.

I'm as confident that there isn't an invisible, indetectable pink unicorn standing behind me as I am that someone has written multiple complex and bug-free applications working only from their memory of a language and codebase. Not even Don Knuth is that much of a savant.

At the very least, the quality of such code should be self-evident and instructive.
