I was browsing the web looking for new OS's when I found your project.

I'd like to suggest the book "Type Theory and Functional Programming" by
Simon Thompson.  If you want correctness as part your programming
language, I think functional style programming with a dependent type
system is the way to go.  A dependent type system allows enough
expressiveness to make non-trivial claims about program behaviour.  The
proof of correctness of code and the code itself is developed
simultaneously, and with the same syntax.

Good luck with your work.
