Sorry, Eric was talking about Go, not just "something". There may be other
choices that would solve the problem where Go would not.

I think the paper you linked is exciting, and actually suggests that the
hard work which needs to be done will solve the problem without a change of
language. This fits my intuition: the things necessary to take advantage of
type safety can only be automatically used with the same kind of proof work
you need to do to establish the code was fine to begin with.
