By robust, I mean the language/compiler has a strong test suite and the runtime is known to work reliably in production settings. I've heard horror stories about Sun's HotSpot JIT crashing frequently, but that was what, 10 or 20 years ago? Now that I think about it, Scala might be a modern example of that, but I haven't kept up with how they might have improved.
