The more the merrier, thanks to it systems programing in memory safe languages is picking up support, from Ada getting more visibility in High Integrity Systems, Microsoft talking about their Midori research results[0] or Apple stating their goal with Swift is " Swift is intended as a replacement for C-based languages"[1].

Eventually we get the safety we had in the 90's back and improved.

Another choice is SaferCPlusPlus[0]. The transition could be done incrementally and the performance would be better than, say, C#.
