Totally agree regarding compiled languages. I’m surprised python et all don’t offer a way to check for file/script “correctness” without execution. It’s so bad that I will often add a “-h” flag to scripts I encounter just so I can run it and make sure no one introduce a silly bug (such as typo, import, etc).

Yep, I've seen my fair share of Python stack traces. Completely sympathize, and it is one of the reasons I believe in statically types and compiled as well.
