I'm surprised that there isn't more adoption of tools like this to help developers understand code.

Even for statically typed languages like Java, I find the existing tools lacking in helping me understand the code thoroughly. I mostly rely on the IDE to navigate code which I then mentally jot down the behavior of the code segment. Writing code this way is way too error-prone, and unfortunately testing isn't foolproof either.

It isn't until something breaks that we really begin to learn the nuances of the system...
