Cool project! I take it the goal is that, overhead being acceptable, most C / C++ programmes don't actually "have to be" rewritten in something like Rust?

I wonder how / where Epic Games comes in?

Note that Fil-C is a garbage-collected language that is significantly slower than C.

It's not a target for writing new code (you'd be better off with C# or golang), but something like sandboxing with WASM, except that Fil-C crashes more precisely.
