I am surprised you didn't mention Ada in your article. Ada is great for safety-critical software, especially since programs written in a subset of it can be mathematically verified to be bug-free.

Oh man, I'm a huge fan of Ada and SPARK. I just wrote and open sourced a sumobot written in SPARK.

My post just kept growing and growing in length so I decided to make some hard edit choices to prevent it from becoming a short book. But safer languages are definitely an option.
