Code 'Footgun' Detector

Developers often encounter legacy features in programming languages that are poorly documented and act as 'footguns', causing subtle, hard-to-debug errors. This is common in languages with long histories where old optimizations are now dangerous due to language evolution.

A specialized static analysis tool can detect these archaic patterns in a codebase. It would flag them, explain the historical context and modern risks, and suggest safer, contemporary alternatives, helping teams avoid bugs and modernize their code with confidence.
