Syntax is not going to solve logic errors. No amount of checked exceptions or forced unwrapping of a result will help with TOCTOU or any number of similar vulnerabilities in code.

You ideally want to attack the problem at two ends:

- make the syntax noise-free so you can see what is happening

- build primitives at the syscall and stdlib level for common footguns

You would still need to deal with domain-specific logic errors, but you have at least reduced the surface area exposed to casual attacks.
