>It’d be nice to be able to say ‘this function should timeout within 10 ms’ and then any function called will just automatically timeout.

Stackless Python has this ability - it can even resume suspended functions: https://stackless.readthedocs.io/en/latest/library/stackless...

Additionally, suspended tasklets can be serialized, then saved to a file or sent over the network and resumed elsewhere!
