Well, Ruby *is* a compiled language; it's just not compiled all
the way to a persistent standalone executable.  It's certainly
possible to do those sorts of checks in the compilation phase of
a language like Ruby; a good example is the 'use strict' pragma
in Perl, which requires that variables be declared before use.
Ruby could similarly have an option that, when enabled, would
require variables to be initialized before being referenced.

Of course, as regards @my_var vs @myvar vs @myVar, the best approach
would be to pick a naming style and stick with it. :)
