    Another example comes to mind of a company, General Magic, that designed a programming language with a similar Capabilities system meant to restrict access to functions and code on their devices with the idea of copyright enforcement in mind as a primary use case. There’s a documentary about the device if you’re interested: https://www.generalmagicthemovie.com
