It is definitely possible. What is not possible is convincing all your co-workers to use it or updating all the libraries you depend on to use it. Thus, the value prop becomes quite low.

Perhaps, but maybe there's a better approach. I prefer having a new language which can build on and speak to other languages in their own paradigms. That's what Swift did for Obj-C and also the direction we're going with Vale's region borrow checker.

C is the lingua franca of systems languages. Rust, nim and zig all seem very capable of wrapping C libraries while providing more safety.

That is why SecDevOps team turns on the static analysis on the CI/CD server, with the decision backed by the security guidelines.

Then they can suck it up or move elsewhere.
