Most of my research conversations with Claude nowadays are basically about this—what it would take to make every latent bit of program semantics visible and expressible in the language itself. As you put it, first-class everything.
At this point I think we have good solutions for expressing pretty much all the most common program semantics, but there’s no language that brings them all together under a unified syntax, tooling, etc.
