But I think interpreting these studies to conclude that choice of language doesn’t affect defects significantly is an extremely dangerous take. The actual issue is some of these programmer studies massively inflate conclusions relative to their claims.
Your cited paper/review uses the methodology “if a commit was believed to have fixed a bug, then that was +1 defect for repository language X.” Ok, fine, that is a metric we can analyze, but to leap from that to language quality is a huge gap.
How serious was the bug? How long did it take to fix? What if developers of language X are less likely to say “bug fix” in their commit message?
The conclusion should be that we need more rigorous and insightful methodologies for studying programmers. We can’t make positive or negative conclusions from studies with weak methods.
