D also generates significant amounts of said code (unless you turn it off, obviously)
One feature D stole from Ada that is an absolutely inexcusable ommision in a modern programming is contract programming. Every time I start a new python script I end up writing helpers for function pre and postconditions because otherwise I can't rely on anything in the language's syntax.
Invariant clauses in D (e.g. this integer in my struct must be less than 5 when the struct is in a valid state) are an absolute godsend although they do not aid compiler optimisations despite some people saying otherwise (it could have changed but last time I checked the invariant does not make it's way to LLVM or GCC)
