I think what we really need is better sandboxes languages. I’d be much happier if my compression algorithm only had an input stream and an output stream. Maybe my gui library shouldn’t have network access or filesystem access. It just draws what I give it, gives me back what users press. You could still make evil software in this world of course.

Sounds like functional programming could help with that?
