From Fil Pizlo (http://www.filpizlo.com/), major contributor to WebKit's JavaScript engine, among other things:
> Fil-C is already powerful enough to run a memory-safe curl and a memory-safe OpenSSH (both client and server) on top of a memory-safe OpenSSL, memory-safe zlib, memory-safe pcre (which required no changes), memory-safe CPython (which required some changes and even found a bug), memory-safe SQLite, memory-safe libcxx and libcxxabi, and memory-safe musl (Fil-C's current libc).

Kudos for effort but some dealbreakers here. Hope it makes more progress.
In his talk at REBASE, Fil said the overhead is now 1.5x to 5x, and he is just getting started optimizing.
