Static Typo Checker in Ruby
Since 2.3.0, Ruby comes with a dynamic typo checker called the did_you_mean gem, which helps find a bug caused by a typo. However, there's one argument against its design: it runs a naming check at runtime.
So what makes it difficult to implement a static typo checker? What are the technical challenges to build it? Is Type really necessary? In this talk, we'll discuss techniques for how to write a static typo checker by looking at examples that find an undefined method without running Ruby code. Join us to learn about the future of Ruby's typo checker.
