There is one quite well known and very large codebase that does this extensively: the Linux kernel. I have mixed opinions about it.

- fwsgonzo 3y ago80% of the code is drivers, which having written many myself, doesn't always need the latest OOP features. Abstractions suck in C for sure, but it's OK. Meanwhile, the Windows XP codebase had 45M LOC in 2011. Truly big codebases need to be written in sane languages, mostly OOP ones. That excludes C, Zig and Rust.
