What's wrong with Rust's error-handling mechanism (namely, the `Result` type)? Generally when writing Rust, panics only come up when you actively invite them with something like an `.unwrap()` call or the `try!` macro, which is Decidedly Bad Style for anything serious.
Sounds like it really wants to differentiate itself from the "old kind of socialism", which has a heritage of thought which already contains a lot of the things mentioned here.
And, as with most socialist thought, tends to kick up a lot of cries and moans from the self-professed economists in the room.
They don't, but on-phone software (stock iOS, as a prominent example) enforces the policy.
This is cool, and I'm a sucker for gravity/space simulators (as my hours logged on Celestia would prove), but it should be noted that in terms of "galaxy" it's inaccurate. Specifically, this inaccuracy (the galaxy rotation problem) is the driving force behind the hypothesis of dark matter [0].
I don't mean to be pedantic or anything. I just think it's interesting.
