1. Fuchsia is not a microkernel, according to themselves. [1] 2. You don't have to turn off safety checks in all of the code. Only having to audit the unsafe code is still a huge win. You're vastly overstating the amount of code that can't be safe. 3. Fuchsia has many components outside of the kernel that should have been written in safe languages but weren't. 4. It's funny that you use the word vanity. I think it perfectly describes the attitude that you're smart enough to write a nontrivial project in C/C++ without any of the many classes of preventable bugs that safe languages fix. Or that a few parts of your code requiring unsafe behavior somehow elevate the whole project into an elite class that doesn't need safety.
