It's not that it would make sense. It is more like it is the programmer's fault. Next week's stupid but expensive typo will be received() instead of receive().

Next week's stupid but expensive typo will be received() instead of receive(). What will you demand then? That the compiler refuses names based on the Levenshtein distance?
It's the job of a style checking tool, not the job of the compiler.
- kartickv 10y agoThat's a false analogy. Saying it's the programmer's fault is another circular argument. It is, only in languages that make it the programmer's fault, but I would say that it's actually the language designers' fault.
