I'm not sure I've even heard the name once. Looks interesting , gradually safer than C, I like that.

Well, BitC is not too popular either. Another interesting experiment is Sing#/Singularity, which is a successful attempt to get IO performance of FreeBSD despite designing whole OS in modified dependently-typed C# with usual JIT and garbage collection. The question whether GC is applicable in memory-constrained environments is still open - I couldn't find a single research in this direction.
