You might care to know though that "non-deterministic programming" already has a meaning that doesn't line up with yours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondeterministic_programming

I'll call your language's type "stochastic programming"
My question is why would you want a stochastic programming language when you could take any popular deterministic programming language and just use random number generators to create stochastic execution paths?

If this is for a story you are writing, then as far as I can tell the only motivation for a stochastic programming language would be like a dystopian government that wants people to be able to program but doesn't want people to be able to have well-controlled programs, often doing random things just so no one can build a stable base with which to challenge their power.
