Isn't there some kind of optional typing in Elixir?
What you're describing are the same uncertainties I've used to have writing PHP a long time ago, but since using optional types and PHPStan checker, it kind of serves as a compiler pass that raises those issues. The benefit being that I still can be lazy and not type out a program when I prototype the problem on my first pass.
