For the time being that are still being written with C++ infrastructure though.
It would be great if those wannabe C++ replacements were fully bootstraped.

This would require (re)writing the OS in the replacement language
Also need assembler to be taken seriously, which Rust can’t do last I checked

Go compiles go, not sure what you mean by wannabe c++.
There’s a frontend to gcc for go and working on rust. Is it the use of gcc you dislike? You’re going to have to explain some more.
We’re stuck on ASM/ELF. We’re stuck on C of some kind. Maybe in the future LLMs can help us write low-level / high expressiveness code but until we get rid of 1970s “personal computer” decisions in silicon, we’re stuck with it.
