> This is exactly the question that static types can answer... statically. You don't need a runtime log to find out.

This tool seems to be able to display the relevant code paths. That sounds super convenient and useful. Do statically typed languages have tools to do similar?




Yeah "find all references" will show you everything that can call a particular function. As I said it won't give you the actual values so this still seems useful.


I don’t know if a similar tool exists but in principle Java and .NET has profiling APIs that let you look into method calls. They can be used as a basis for a similar tool.
