Ada, Eiffel, Go, Coq + OCaml, Erlang, Haskell, CompCert[*], etc. etc.
All these languages are viable.
Perhaps for end-user applications[1], but not for libraries/code reuse/implementing platform interfaces to be usable by applications. How do I call an Eiffel library from Ada and pass it a callback written in Go? And if widely-used libraries are not available, that again makes it less viable to write applications using them.

[1] To take a random set of examples, how many of these languages have libraries or bindings for (all of) TLS, good i18n, libselinux, readline, D-Bus, GTK?
