Because most programming languages aren't supporting program
verification...?  I think there is a lot of ground to be covered
yet, when it comes to compile-time checks.  I suspect most
dynamic checks are simple enough to be proved at compile-time,
if programmers cared, compilers were capable, and languages were
designed for it.
