I don't understand the purpose of this list. If it is to list all
programming languages, that is hopeless, as there are thousands of
programming languages. If it is to list all programming languages with
security ambitions, then I'm confused, as clearly not all of the
languages listed were intended to enhance security, and some of them
(glaringly PHP) substantially *degrade* security vs. many languages that
came before them.

made it yet.
Perhaps it's a personnel problem, not a technology problem?
