Asserts are not for runtime errors, but for verification of assumptions in debug builds. Essentially, they are mini-test run on real data during normal use (of a debug build).

Making it so you can't have asserts will just mean that you won't have those kind of tests.

Ah alright. That's an interesting technique! You can't do that in Elm, you'd have to rely on the technique I mentioned above and regular tests.
