A little comparison of some programming lanugages

This post evaluates the programming languages ATS, C#, Go, Haskell, OCaml, Python and Rust to try to decide which would be the best language in which to write 0install (which is currently implemented in Python). Hopefully it will also be interesting to anyone curious about these languages.

i thought the "safety" portion of the evaluation was particularly interesting.

(overall, i find the review depressing: there's no good programming language, i guess.)
