As someone interested in pursuing similar ideas I would recommend taking a look at Object Capabilities and the E Language if you haven't already.

I believe Sandstorm.io (and Cap'n Proto) at least adopts some of the ideas.

Ah right, I remember this to an extent. That's cool, i think that's an interesting direction for research, but to be honest I probably wouldn't start with solving those problems. There's enough difficulty in simply modeling the unix world for the web.

I suspect one of the things Sanndstorm did that probably caused it issues was was biting off too much, for example implementing its own linux containers system (I don't know what the details were, I just know that at the time, I was thinking "if it were me, I would just use docker.")
