I'm curious about the last part. Are you using Modula 2 or something?

  I don't have any public projects to release right now. So, I don't have to worry about getting sued. Modula 2 was nice but you could use any of Wirth's with low risk. Although Lisp's had lots of companies involved, Scheme is probably safe with PreScheme aiming for low-level use. A Racket dialect with C/C++ features like ZL language had could be extremely powerful and safe. Rust, with Mozilla backing it, is probably not going to get you sued. Nim has potential given their commercial interests are paid development and support so far. As in, less greedy they are the better. Languages with community-focused foundations, such as Python, controlling them are probably pretty safe. Although it was risky, the D language now has a foundation. Although no foundation or legal protections, the Myrddin and Zig languages are being run by folks that look helpful rather than predatory. So, there's you a few examples you might consider if avoiding dependencies on companies likely to pull shit in the future. Venture-backed, publicly-traded, growth-at-all-costs, and/or profit-maximizing-at-all-costs are examples of what to avoid if wanting to future-proof against evil managers turning it from good dependency into bad one.
