The same argument has been said for Java (but turned out to have worse problems in practice), Ruby (where if you every wrote something in Rails you've been vulnerable halv a dozen times by now) and PHP (and any commentary here should be unnecessary).
Sure, all the obscure languages you mention which never had even one project with a fraction of the usage base of Apache or Postfix may have no known security problems, but that's not a something to boast about. If you really want these languages to succeed, build a project with the potential user base of Nginx or Linux. Just don't complain about other's language choices, especially not when those are well known and well understood ones.
Everybody and their cat knows that. It's also not a functional web browser yet, and doesn't have a measureable market share compared to Firefox and Chrome, which are C++. Let's compare CVEs when it's at least in the top three. But if it survives one day at cansecwest I would be thoroughly impressed.
