Every time I read C and memory safety, I just think Golang. Especially for user space

Go programs are not fully memory-safe if they use multiple treads, due to possible data races with fat pointers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44672003
Still much better than C will ever be, even if I disagree with some of its design decisions.
Yes, think of something like Inferno, but Limbo now is AOT compiled instead of JITed.

However there are also kernel like commercial projects in Go, and apparently the related TamaGo fork might eventually get upstreamed into the reference implementation.
