Perhaps I miss the point, but how can we be sure there are no bugs in ACE?

In the ACE specification or the ACE program? In case of the specification, the language is designed to be easily verifiable, also through the generated test suite. This allows a domain expert to check it, as well as a programmer if required.

In case of the ACE program, it's a program so can indeed have bugs. But at least then we only have to verify the implementation of a single program, instead of all of them.
