I'm curious what you would replace it with? I can't think of anything actually suitable for most of the low-level operating systems / embedded level things that use C.
I know people recommend rust for this kind of thing, but Rust really isn't appropriate in a lot of cases, especially when dealing with microcontrollers not supported by llvm (ie PIC, 8051 off the top of my head).
This may be changing, but I was also under the impression that Rust can't easily produce as small binaries as C can.
