This comment is highly presumptuous about the actual development experience of more modern languages and tools.

PHP is often, in practice, a language where bugs are more likely compared to these "stylish" other languages you mention. [0]

" For [languages] with positive coefficients we can expect that the language is associated with a greater number of defect fixes. These languages include C, C++, Objective-C, Php, and Python. The languages Clojure, Haskell, Ruby, and Scala, all have negative coefficients implying that these languages are less likely than average to result in defect fixing commits."

I wonder why Ruby ended up in the negative coefficient group instead of exhibiting similar characteristics to Python, for example.

It's quite an interesting study to read, and not long. I recommend giving it a few minutes to answer that question.

Thanks, assumed it would be too academic or technical to understand and didn’t look at it. Will check now..

Actually, the link is not working on mobile. Maybe it will work on my desktop.

I wish they included Haskell in the concurrency bugs section, given how popular Software Transactional Memory – which eliminates many concurrency bugs – is there.
