Is there a market for such a thing? Defense? Secure operating systems?
What are all the tangible benefits?
</seriousness>
<humor>
What will the name fo the OS be? SafeLix? FreeBSafeD?
</humor>
<opinion>
Windows NT might already be part of the way there depending on how one views

Prolog, used in the following manner, added the safety you hope to achieve?
And could Caml have also achieved it?
</opinion>
<fact>
Microsoft used Prolog in NT's network stack.
