Yeah, these things quickly boil down to the trusting trust thing (see Ken Thompson's Turing award lecture). You can't trust any system until you've designed every bit from scratch.

You gotta put your trust somewhere, or you won't be able to implement jack.

It's in Intercal, a joke language from '70s. Mark Rendle describes it here in his talk at NDC. This whole talk is ridiculous btw.

There's croc which looks very similar to magic-wormhole. Haven't used magic-wormhole so can't compare the two though.
