Yeah I know about 1 e.g. also MicroPython, no idea if that's used outside DIY though. I agree about rust but I would think that with much stronger type safety and static compilation it should be able to remove a lot more of the overflow checks and most that remain would be needed in correct C too. At least that's what I learned from my compilers prof who worked on Ada compilers for many years and that should be quite similar. But maybe that's my biased hope as I really really hate working with dynamic languages.
