Here's Theo's response on integrating safe languages into openbsd, circa 2017: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=151233345723889&w=2

To summarize: He mentioned a lack base posix utilities in these languages (posix compliant utilities), and that changes like this take a long time (stack protector took 10 years to implement), and that these new toolchains would dramatically increase build times (like haskell cgrep vs openbsd grep), and that openbsd requires that base can build base on all platforms and some of these languages won't work on some supported platforms (there wasn't enough address space on i386 for rust to compile itself, for example).

I realize some of this may be dated by now, but I assume the above are the types of concerns they would want to address.
