I imagine you will find this paper interesting

"Haskell vs. Ada vs. C++ vs. Awk vs. ... An Experiment in Software Prototyping Productivity"

I would imagine, though, that "prototyping" and "safety critical" are on opposite ends of the spectrum...

That paper was written in a time when languages like Haskell only got funding money from DARPA if it was for researching "prototyping".

Hence the way it was written.
