Question

In Sublime Text 2 there is a package called sublime linter, which highlights any section which has syntax error as you type.

Is there any comparable package in emacs ?

Thanks

flycheck is a new up-and-coming replacement for flymake including features such as

• major-mode based checkers (instead of file name patterns),
• simple declarative checker definitions (instead of init functions)
• ready-to-use syntax checkers for a bunch of languages (instead of broken checkers using non-existing tools)
• a clean, concise and understandable implementation (instead of a almost 2k line mess of spaghetti code).
