Yeah, I am painful aware of the reality, being an Wirth language's fan since the early 90's.

The fact is that UNIX-like OSes are married with C, unless there is a commercial entity like Apple or Google, pushing out of the way, UNIX FOSS developers will always gravitate around it for system level applications.

It has always been like that, system languages that aren't the platform main language(s), are relegated to 2nd class status and eventually die or strive in a small niche.

Hence why I think UNIX only has a path to safety in the hands of Apple and Google, because I don't see *BSD or Linux developers using anything other than C for system level code.
