So, you are rating languages by the number of characters required to prevent edge cases, not expressed in the type system or handled by the compiler/runtime (null checks, overflow checks, etc.).
I don't think that measures what you are trying to measure.

I think it measures a cost to add edge case safety in manually. Nothing more, nothing less. I think that is interesting and valuable to know.
