it's definitely time for a language with a capabilities based security model that allows scope to the function/method level, at minimum

not just for security either. i can't count the number of times i've traced a performance problem or bug to a piece of code that was doing some io when it didn't need to

Agreed. In a capabilities system you'd see that, for some reason, your logger requires all sorts of absurd capabilities for no reason.
