Well… sort of. C has become a standard with several implementations. It gains supply chain security by being decentralized. Likewise, it has many package managers with different repos for language specific things, and it then has many package managers and repos if we consider UNIX/Linux systems C development environments with dynamic linking and the like.

The issue is, for any given implementation, similar attacks could still happen, and the package repos are still probably vulnerable.
