Could imagine a Clippy programmer's assistant who would constantly nag
you - "are you _sure_ that this variable is a string?"

Mind you, Eclipse is actually pretty good at nagging and often
suggests surprisingly intelligent solutions.

There are attempts at completely explicit text in natural languages,
and they're called legal contracts ;)  They are not fun to read.
