Yeah, cultural issues are very hard to fight and usually require a generation change.

I convinced unless a big OS vendor forces changes for their default system programming language, nothing will change.

This is why I like Microsoft's decision to drop C on Windows.

What I would like is to have a proper systems programming language in the lines of Modula-3/Active Oberon/C#/D/Rust or similar, being used.

Time will tell when this happens, but it will require a few generations of developers for the mentality change to take place.
