However, we'll stress on the fact that programs
should rather be made secure and proven correct
than be kept emulated in paranoid boxes.
I tend to think this is a risky way of doing things.
But it might be worth trying for research.
Also, I think that a language which lacks the escape routes of C, such
as casting pointers, would be hard to use for some purposes.
The main problem I see is that we want fine-grained dynamic compilation.
Could the GCC backend be used as some kind of a daemon,
or be integrated as a library ?
It wouldn't make much sense as a library, but it could be used as a
demon. It depends how often you want to compile and how fast you want
compilation to happen. If you want really fast compilation, you
probably need something simpler than GCC.
