The pyrrhic victory, other than the Linux kernel, everything else is a mix of C++ and Java, with a native compiler written in C++.

And the history of Linux kernel and Android might come to an end if Zirkon ever replaces it, then it will be no more C on Android.

Citations for what?

Android and Fuchsia source code are public available, just as their code reviews and ongoing work to port ART to Fuchsia.

Anyone skilful to use C without creating CVEs of their own, is surely able to find that information.
