Chris, would you mind expanding on this point?  What is necessary for
industrial-grade, safe, robust software?  Do statically-typed
languages give any real advantage over dynamically-typed languages in
this context?  I know much is achieved by how the software is designed
and the practices used to implement the design that are independent of
the language used.  But what language features/components are
essential for industrial-grade software?
