Could GDScript have a strict mode?

[blackears]

I was wondering how realistic it would be to have a strict mode for GDScript where the language behaved like a statically typed language instead of a dynamic one. I come from a C++/C# background and personally find that the 'restrictions' statically typed languages impose are really helpful because they let you catch errors at compile time instead of runtime.

GDScript has added a type system which I use, but it's still possible to do things like write code that tries to call a method that isn't there.

You can switch these and other warnings to Warn or Error:

I enabled these as warnings, but they don't seem to be warning me at all. Even when I try to use methods and parameters that are not declared on classes.

Most warnings work, but some adjustments to trigger conditions are needed.

Where do you find the debug settings? I can't see them under either Project Settings or Editor Settings.
