Actually that was already a thing in Mesa/Cedar, Modula-3, Oberon language family and Eiffel.

Sadly Java has not taken this into account, nor AOT support out of the box, and now it is catching up with it.

Eiffel does not enforce preconditions at compile time. What are you referring to?

I was only referring to:

" Is that the only thing it does to provide a C++-like "resource efficient and predictable runtime"? After all, that's basically Swift (or Python+static types). I think the main improvement that C++ (and C# and Go) have over languages like Java is ability to avoid heap-allocated objects (i.e. stack-allocated structs)."
