I don't like how C was completely ignored when talking about languages with comparable performance. :p
The Zend Engine 3 (aka the stock PHP 7 interpreter) is, according to one HHVM developer, 'embarassingly competitive on the test suites', and it's written in C.
/rant
C++ is probably much nicer to maintain, though. C ends up being macro hell.
