Why would you need a static analyzer for a language that promotes itself as safe out of the box.

Re:How to Start Learning Computer Graphics Programming on Monday January 07, 2019 @04:58AM (#18844020)
I don't think the hindrance when starting to learn graphics programming is the math or the lack of ideas of what to build. The biggest problem is that the most known APIs (DirectX, OpenGL and especially DirectX 12 and Vulkan) are so badly designed and so poorly documented that it deters anyone trying to start doing anything. All these API are like magic invocation you have to make the calls in just the right order or it doesn't work at all. There is no real specification of what goes underneath and it can't be because the actual implementation is written by different vendors (Nvidia or AMD) which only slightly abides to the specification.

God bless coldtea, I almost went batshit crazy when I read the article. Do not be fooled, we are in the worst growth period in recorded history. Just think about it, the WW1 and WW2 periods were better. Bullshit article.
