Re:Ask HN: Language design to mitigate supply chain attacks? by warrenm on Thursday October 28, 2021 @08:22AM (#29025200)
All the language (and really the interpreter/compiler) is doing in this example is making sure you haven't done something silly like try to assign a `char ` to a `long double`

That's barely* addressing supply chain attacks

Linguistically, an import of `bubbleglyph.myimport` is no different than `bubbleglypf.myimport` (except for one [valid] character) - nor would importing it from repository A be any different than repository B

You sitll have to rely on outside-the-language security checks to ensure you're getting

1) what you want

2) from where you want

3) and that it's "correct"/"safe" to use
