Are there any [plans for] supply chain attack mitigations?

Naively searching, I find https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/4380#issuecomment-123641... (Proposed Principle: A package can be declared as "safe") and https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/2837 (Add capability-safety to polymorphic effects?) the latter closed with working on something related to this https://github.com/flix/flix/issues/3000 (The Road to Algebraic Effects).



In short yes. We plan to leverage the effect system for this. Stay tuned.


That's great, staying tuned!

Plea to all language/languge ecosystem designers in 2023+ to design ahead for supply chain attack mitigations. Austral is one new language that appears to be doing so https://borretti.me/article/how-capabilities-work-austral ... Kudos to those retrofitting to existing ecosystems. I guess Flix is somewhere in the middle, not new (2015?) but still being designed/not huge legacy constraints. Anyway, thanks!
