There are attempts to rewrite it in safer programming languages 
;-) Such as https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide

Let's see if the alternative implementations turn out to be good 
enough and allow to eventually retire C at least for this 
particular task. Survival for the fittest.

To be 'C like', the language needs to provide the same 
flexibility and control as C, and map to the hardware and its 
instructions set as well as C. In other words, it's going to 
end up being C anyway.

Doesn't the D code annotated as `@system` already provide the 
same flexibility and control as C? If not, then what is missing?
