Proving that the code is safe is best, and that is easier done with Scheme
too: for example, you can have harsh (but simple) requirements such as
"the code must not contain any looping constructs" or even "the code must
not contain any control constructs". Such requirements are easy to check
statically thanks to the simple and uniform structure of Scheme code.
