>Pick something slightly esoteric (eg Haskell) and the quality of public code is very high, because you only have enthusiasts writing it. that and the language supports (enforces) good decision making; static typing w/ inference and a functional style as a first class concept. which then rolls into the same result : higher quality code available.
