A fast and low-memory footprint OCI Container Runtime fully written in C. While most of the tools used in the Linux containers ecosystem are written in Go, I believe C is a better fit for a lower-level tool like container runtime. runc, the most used implementation of the OCI runtime specs written in Go, re-execs itself and uses a module written in C for setting up the environment before the container process starts. crun aims to be also usable as a library that can be easily included in programs without requiring an external process for managing OCI containers.

...Unlike traditional virtual machines or lightweight syscall filters, gVisor follows a third approach that offers many of the security benefits of virtualization while maintaining the speed, resource efficiency, and flexibility of containers. Its key runtime, runsc, integrates seamlessly with container ecosystems such as Docker and Kubernetes, making it easy to deploy sandboxed workloads using familiar tools. By intercepting and safely handling syscalls from applications, gVisor reduces the attack surface of the host kernel, mitigating risks associated with running untrusted or potentially malicious code in containerized environments.
