For starters people have to realize that safe C is not a research problem. It's an engineering problem of compilers, package management and C software. And all it takes to take off is some engineering work.

However funding that work is a big problem, since it mostly benefits others.

You missed the most important one, people.

Mentalities are very hard to change and we all know that only lousy programmers make errors in C.
