This can be used to assess two important factors, namely:
i) Considering whether the programming language offers features like strong type checking and array bounds checking, while avoiding features like variants and pointers in unsafe mode. A programming language should have a safe, statically checked type system, no explicit pointers, and no undetectable un-initialized variables.
