If we follow this video, the real constraints essentially mean POSIX and ABI. This implies that the contract a programmer must understand is distributed across multiple layers—not just the language specification, but effectively the operating system and ABI as well. Ultimately, this leads to the conclusion that even if the language itself is fundamentally free, constraints are inherently necessary at its lower layers. If we were to bloat the compiler—that is, if we restricted freedom like Rust does with its borrow checker—then the freedom available to the programmer would vanish. If that happens, people might grow weary of a language that is supposed to be free. In the end, any single layer inherently restricts freedom. In other words, I feel there is a need to transfer the complexity that a programmer must manage over to a mechanical management system, but which layer would be best for that?
Currently, based on experience, this level of complexity is categorized into the language layer, and that level of complexity into the operating system layer. But in the future, won't there be some sort of complexity theorem that determines which layer minimizes complexity the most, and won't systems be completely rewritten based on that?
