C is C. There really aren't many alternatives. There's a tiny inroad with Google's Issue 9 and an uptick in linux command line tools written in ruby and python, but other than that, if the job calls for C, then you must write in C.
Contrast this to the JVM: If the job requires you write class files, then you use java. Or Scala. Or Groovy. Or Jython. Or JRuby. Or Clojure. Scala becoming more popular is good for the JVM and also for java programmers (who, like scala programmers, can only deploy to the JVM, and gain when the JVM gains ground).
