And that memory safe language can certainly be a subset of C with annotations / rules that make it memory safe. No problem with that, I just don't think it's a very useful/practical thing to do personally since I'd rather use a nicer language if it has to be from scratch anyway.

If only the Rust ecosystem were accessible (bootstrappable without going through 15+ old versions from mrustc)... Also Rust is not the type of language I *like* to work in. I'd like a language with fewer features than C, not compatable to C++ or Java but [mostly] memory-safe.

Note that these are completely separate issues. I'd love to see Rust succeed (still hoping to avoid using it myself), but I really really really want the bootstrap issue to be fixed and for there to be independent and non-LLVM-based implementations.

That's my point. There are options available with decent security, and that can be combined with a sandbox if desired (although this case is way too simple to have much value) rather than just giving up on preventing arbitrary code execution and exposing far more attack surface.
