There are no fragile languages, but fragile projects. You can write a fragile project in any language you want. Also, that fragility is mostly only perceived on the Debian side, because those upstream communities have mechanisms for locking their dependencies to specific versions, having multiple versions of the same package loaded at the same time, etc. We in Debian *choose* that those practices should not be followed, and *decided on our own* to package their stuff. It is then on *our burden* to handle the so-called fragility.
