personally i disagree, at least in a pragmatic approach to js's design. also your example doesn't make much of a valid point i feel: the promises are still async on the microtask queue. you seem to be showing syntax, not semantics.

you would. python and ffi would have runtime sanity checks a la fil-c. better error messages too. ask your favorite LLM how it would look.

a fun exercise is to ask an LLM how it might be applied.

indeed, the ideas could be used more widely.
fil-c runs on linux.
what if linux ran on fil-c?

Write python code that works "everywhere". (Except, of course, if you use any libraries at all. Ha ha.)

I keep day-dreaming about how to leverage the ideas in Fil-C. (a) use it for both Python interpreter and all C libs i want to call from there. (b) use the ideas for extra security in the OS kernel.

Word! i've done some ground-up 2D games with no engine library. So i hand-rolled resources, frame rate, collision, simple physics, etc. One has no graphics assets. Another other does.
