Some of the suggested languages are as old as C, with better ergonomics if you mean ignorig is doing string concatenation instead of manually handling char buffers with pointer arithmetic, or proper reference parameters instead of being forced to pass the address of output variables manually, which is nonetheless possible in the suggested languages.
What low level thing do you think C can do, but Modula-2, Ada or Object Pascal are unable to provide the comparable feature?
Also taking into account possible C extensions not covered by ISO.
