There's an interesting python "variant" (more of an overlay actually) that is rather intriguing on github -- Vigil: a truly safe progamming language. It's a joke language that deletes code when an assert fails. Python-ideas really isn't the place to post this. Try out http://www.reddit.com/r/python

Yeah, I sort of got that, but imagine in a multi-user p2p environment (the internet "global brain"), it could be a way to enforce policy across the network. I know list policy, but I rather like the keywords it used to expand on the language. By making the programmer encode expectations, the multiprocessing code doesn't have to work so hard with exception handlin.
