Modernizes C language = Zig.

But I don’t see a point in using systems languages for the usual UNIX tools, they could be rewritten in a more secure language. In the rare case performance is important, there is FFI, but they are usually IO-bound so there is not much point.

I agree about secure languages. Last week I was daydreaming about reimplementing all non-RT parts in Lua.
