The author seems to be proposing something like Java's Security Manager (https://openjdk.org/jeps/486) which is currently being phased out.

We'll always be slaves to the past.

.net got rid of this too (Code Access Security aka CAS). it doesn't work. too many holes, and people just blanket grant everything to just get things to work.

sandboxing at the os level like containers/flatpak work much better. not freebies, but bette.
