New languages and technologies come and go and you're free to use them. OpenBSD will continue to create new software while adhering to modern C coding practices

  > New languages and technologies You mean decades-old languages like Perl and Python for example? Technologies like the ones we can finally now afford to implement - actual syscall filtering and selective capabilities dropping? Supporting utilities which only matter at development time? How do those go away? And I wrote in the first message - OpenBSD integrates `file`, has to use C and doesn't implement seccomp. They couldn't become the poster child. But the next `file` reimplementation probably won't hit the news anymore. People can improve the way we write software right now. But choose a project at random and they don't care or don't use what's available for free. Some promotion would be great when everyone's looking.
