I do not disagree with you even a little, and not just because C is my bread and butter. At this point, I am merely curious about examples of large projects doing a successful switch from language A to language B.

I just remembered reading about MirageOS recently. Almost everything is done in OCaml. I am sure it contains a bunch of low-level C code. It seemed interesting, but I don't think such projects will ever replace systems written in C.

Sorry, I can't think of any off of the top of my head. The only thing that comes close is once in a while you see a C project switch to C++ but that's not really an example of what your looking for. Like when GCC switched over to C++.
