Right, there a lot of projects that value the fact that their project builds on a lot of platforms, and that they can support old or strange systems that many memory-safe languages do not target (or only do so "unofficially" with some third-party fork of varying quality). I have met a lot of people who brush this off as "yeah but why should we care about those crufty old things, nobody uses them" but such an attitude does not endear itself well.
