Type annotations plus modern IDEs have (in my experience) made this mostly a non-issue. It does require a bit more setup to get passable static analysis set up, which comes "for free" in languages with good compilers (like go!), but it's at least possible now to get to a (IMO) good point.

(FWIW, I moved away from python and ruby over a decade ago because of exactly this frustration, but I'm finding modern python to be pretty pleasant.)
