Software written in dynamically typed languages can be robust, just as software written in the most strongly typed language can still be buggy.
As an user of such critical piece of software, I would ask the following questions:
* Is the software popular?
* For how many years it has been battle tested?
* Are there many reports of data corruption?
* Is it well maintained?
* Do the maintainers provide support?
Borg/Attic has been greatly used for many years now and check all the boxes above. I don't think I've ever read about data corruption that was caused by a bug in it.
Which language it is written in is nothing more than a mere curiosity for me.
