I don't really "get" the sweet-spot being targeted here. You don't get channels, goroutines, or gc, so aside from syntax and spatial memory safety you're not really inheriting much from Go. There is also no pathway to integrate with existing Go libraries.
Spatial memory safety is nice but it's the temporal safety that worries me most, in nontrivial C codebases.
Looks to me like having the ability to write Go syntax and interop directly with C is the plus.
I do like Go's syntax but I can't help thinking the best language for C interop is C.

SWIG[0] is a viable option for incorporating C code as well.

I love how SWIG is still around! I first used it about 30 years ago to integrate with Perl, then later with Java.
Go's syntax is basically C tho lol
what's the benefit? for loops?
I guess there is no point except Anton is having fun do it.
