Dunno about anyone else, but whenever I take an airplane flight and don't crash, I thank God, the pilot, the aviation engineers who build the planes, the maintenance crew, and the air traffic controllers, approximately in that order.  Crediting any software, let alone the language it's written in, is really, really, really way down on the list.
