The core is written in Rust which is at least as strong as ML.

The bug was in the contract language, https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/develop/

Strictly speaking, the bug was not in the language itself, but in a specific contract's code.

The language and the underlying EVM code worked exactly as intended. The bug was in the contract written by Parity.
