Absolutely! The tools might have changed, but automated testing and
editor integration is still invaluable. I use Emacs; I've written
little functions that run static code analysis and linting for
compiled languages like Go, and for more interactive languages I have
shortcuts to interact more quickly with the REPL.
For run-time testing, I find that Woodpecker CI (which was forked from
a commercial tool called Drone) to be very useful as a way to
coordinate running all the checks.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
