The most serious and expensive software quality problems tend to c result from requirements analysis failures. Better programming languages and tools can't do much to mitigate those mistakes.

Better programming languages can make it easy to write down requirements in a formal way without making mistakes.

My point is that it doesn't really help if the requirements are wrong to begin with.
