candidate of add. language in src (not rust)

Just for note.

XLibre developer(s) is trying to (automatically) convert X server sources to V language.

(below opinion is not related to XLibre people)

V language is a transpiler. May be it has a good ratio of cost of maintaining in the src codebase to increasing src audience/contributors. 

V is aimed to be a "simple language for building maintainable programs". This claim make it theoretically suitable for developing none performance critical programs in an operating system base.


As for XLibre I think they would like to express (part of) a long lived and rarely touched C-codebase in a more maintainable and understandable way. Which allow them to touch a code with a more confidence when it is a necessarity for.
