The Delta Project

This is the Delta Project, aiming to improve software reliability.

The main tool for this is the integration of massive assertion support into the programming language; assertions can state properties such as memory and CPU usage limits, type constraints, absence of information leakage, etc.

Theory says that assertion checking can be made almost fully automatic, only one kind of help needed is loop invariants and their equivalents.
In practice, people will want to provide more assertions, e.g. to state the properties of internal APIs.

Building the language is just the first step. See the long-term plan.
