On: I love coding in C

[Touche]

C is basically your only option for embedded systems.

[ncmncm → Touche]

False, of course.

It's the only language your chip vendor will give you, but there is very little reason ever to use their compiler, anymore. And they have no say in what you use to generate your machine code.

Depends on the project and chip vendor.

Anyone that is open mindend can get Pascal, Basic, Java, Oberon, C++ and Ada compilers, although I admit that the Ada option is only available for deep pockets.

[Touche → pjmlp]

I'm not sure languages like Pascal and Basic are better options...

In what concerns lack of memory corruption and UB features, much better.
