> Though if I were going to greenfield GStreamer C would still be a pretty reasonable option in 2021 IMO. GStreamer is routinely exposed to hostile content in non-sandboxed contexts, such as your traditional Linux desktop; it even works as a browser plugin! Among projects you might want to write in C, GStreamer strikes me as one of the least reasonable. If GStreamer were more widely deployed on phones, it'd be prime attack surface for e.g. regimes attempting to surveil journalists.
