We can't stop it, but we can put it in a sandtrap and serialize its access to the outside world.

In what concerns UNIX clones, Oracle did it with Solaris and SPARC ADI, which doesn't have a bright future anyway.

It remains to be seen what ARM and Google will actually do with the new memory extensions.

It remains to be seen what will happen with Fuchsia.

Microsoft is pushing for a mix of .NET Native, modern C++ and Rust.

Apple is still pushing for Swift, although very incrementally.

The big question is how UNIX clones will actually tackle C's unsafety at large, if ever.
