Thanks, but which of those can be simply taken as the library linked to C code and called from the C code, and so that it doesn't depend on GC? Because as long as that step doesn't exist, it can't be used as the possible substitution for the current libraries?

Ocaml is only one that uses GC IIRC. Others produce C.
Links please? Any actual library produced and linkable, even with just one algorithm? I can't find it behind that Ivory link? Thanks!

Edit: also thanks for explaining the nature of the solutions you mention ("custom jobs").

I dont have those. They're used for custom jobs by people who know the language. Im not in that category. ;)
Wait, I just remembered COGENT people did a case study by doing ext2 filesystem in COGENT. They have COGENT on Github. The filesystem source or binary might be in repo(s) of COGENT team allng with other examples. So, Google that.
