Regarding R and its soundness (in the general colloquial sense), here's something that bothers me about it (scope leakage):

    > if ("blah" == "blah") {
          y = 2
          x = y + 2
      } else {
          x = 1
      }

    > x
    4
    > y
    2
I really wish what I introduce in my blocks would stay in my blocks...
