There seems to be an empirical law: You can't sandbox code securely :)



True, for the same reason that you don't see (m)any programs based on purely functional programming paradigms. Things with no side effects, no vulnerabilities, and no coupling to the outside world tend not to be very useful.


Pure functional programming does not mean there are no effects. The name "pure functional" is a misnomer, in my opinion. It just means "typed effects" -- keeping track of what effects pieces of code have.
