[Codenarc-user] success stories?

[Philip Y. <phi...@ma...>]

Hi all,

Big thanks to the developers for this tool! I'll be giving a talk to the 
OCJUG next month about static code analysis, and being a Groovy guy, 
CodeNarc will feature prominently. Maybe I'll get some Groovy converts, 
but the purpose is to get people to start using these tools.

Are there any great success stories with using these tools? How are you 
persuading people to use them? I'm invoking an John Carmack (Doom, 
Quake, Oculus VR), who is a huge proponent of such tools and admits his 
own code is "riddled with errors." He also mentioned a multi-developer, 
multi-day bug hunt that ended up being an error that the analysis tool 
flagged, but he hadn't had a chance to fix.

I'll also be showing how it fits Larry Wall's three virtues of a great 
programmer. But specific success stories would be great to have. I do 
think the rules themselves show how strong the tooling has become and 
will be going over many.

Thanks much,
Philip
