Only Python, is a language soooo dynamic, that the question "Does this code type-checks?" may get the valid response: "With which of the 5 existing type checkers?"

It's actually a fairly frequent fact of programming language development that type resolution can change across versions. Haskell famously has a ton of extensions that enhance the type system in various, potentially incompatible ways.

In fact the question of whether a code type-checks is itself undecidable.
