I doubt we'll see anything like this in a mainstream language anytime soon.



That's an interesting case I hadn't seen before, so thanks for the link.

Some of the related pages don't seem to be available at the moment, but from what I could see it looks as if that approach still gets hung up on questions of decidability, and doesn't have a very powerful concept of the regions where effects apply, which has been another interesting aspect of the wider research so far. It's good to see someone else working on the field, though.
