Linux is probably the most carefully constructed C codebase in existence and still falls in to C pitfalls semi regularly. Every other project has no hope of safely using C. It's looking more and more like Linux should be carefully rewritten in Rust. It's a monstrous task but I can see it happening over the next decade.

My guess is that it would actually be OpenBSD, but I'm not sure either way.
