Actually, that's a good point, in scripting fatal type errors can happen at runtime. I guess Python is the right choice then, given it's maturity and popularity, and then you can code the complex stuff in whatever you want via WASM like other people mentioned.

It's interesting to think how this would have changed some of the things we take for granted today. For example, for production we "minify" our CSS and JS, but Python has enforced whitespace. Would we still have come up with minifying and those on restricted data just take the hit?
