Reliable implementation most likely involves solving the halting problem.

Disagree, there are practical trivial subsets of the halting problem to which I imagine many short-running scripts would conform.

Most short running scripts call into the standard library or into other packages. I think the trivial subset is too small to bother with such an optimisation.
