future of Python: Stackless, Standard -> fragmentation ?

I believe .Net optionally makes the guarantees.
You can write unsafe code in C#, but you have to state explicitly that you
are doing so.
You cannot write unsafe code in VB.Net (VB7).
Modula-3 is similar in this regard.

I understand it the .NET VM is more general and powerful then the
Java VM.  It was designed as a platform for multiple languages
while the Java VM was not.  Also, the .NET VM does not make the
security guarantees that the Java VM does.
