You can fix catch these errors with a suitably advance type system Not that it matters in most cases though. A programmer picking a language for a project does not realistically have access to the full design space of type systems. If the only implementation of a language with some type system feature is an interpreter for a core calculus written in Agda and not touched for the past several years, that feature is effectively unavailable. Most programmers are not in the business of designing and implementing custom type systems (and associated languages) and probably wouldn't gain enough from it for it to be worth the work of learning how anyway.
