Wow, this is really appropriate for the day I've had today. Repeatedly failing to get a brand new install of Bitcoin Core to index and sync with the blockchain. I finally dusted off my Memtest86 and voila, bad RAM stick!

I suppose crypto would fare pretty badly inside this language, or has anyone thought about this kind of thing?

Well, Shannon & Moore showed [1] that you can make arbitrarily reliable circuits out of unreliable relays, so I expect you could find a redundant enough encoding for any program that would allow it to operate at high precision, even in this language. It would almost certainly be larger and slower than a more accurate equivalent though!
