At the end of the day you have 2 problems (1) how to make execution deterministic within some boundary be it a process, hypervisor, or distributed system and (2) how you handle non-determinism when data crosses this boundary. You can move the boundaries and effort around but the problems always exist. So, if you are claiming that you have a sweet spot on this tradeoff then I could certainly believe that, if you claim that you eliminated this boundary issue then I am highly credulous.

I'll agree with you on indeterminate behaviors though, I suspect they will eventually be seen like the "billion dollar" mistake of null pointers.
