Just build it with asan and you will get all the safety, memory usage and slowness of a memory safe language.

You'd need UBsan as well, and even that doesn't catch everything. Regarding memory usage/slowness: why not OCaml, D, or Rust?

Rust only recently hit 1.0, so it's pretty obvious why somebody would not have built their software using that.

Also, current benchmarks show Rust to be about ~3x slower than C, making it more comparable to Go or Java.

Yes, my mistake.
