C is still absolutely standard and huge in both the fields you mentioned. Despite all the new system languages or whatever doesn't change the fact that C dominates and will continue to dominate embedded development among other fields.
Anyone who claims C is dead likely is working in the Silicon Valley startup bubble. Sure, C isn't going to get your far at mostly web based companies but every computing device you own most likely has C and assembly running the hardware bits and the underlying system.
