fortran with nice syntax and built in bit operations.

  Nice fixed point types too. A fixed point all to the right of the binary point to represent angles asa semicircle was useful. Table ovelays are evil though. I'd rather have rust than ada for the functional lineage along with the performance, but the thin stdlib combined with the difficulty of getting a crates.io mirror certified clean of malcious code makes it problematic.

    Not to say Rust is ready for prime for safety critical systems, but both crates.io and the standard lib are optional for Rust.

      I think it is probably closer to safety critcal than it is to the middleground of safety related, where the sloc hits millions so you want boost or a thick stdlib plus posix but its still controlled enough you develop airgapped and worry about number of library contributors, trustedness and mostly futile code inspections of entire libraries. Even for server backends the rust team has expressed concern about the security implications of having such deeply nested dependency trees with so many authors.
