C++ and D(asBetterC) are viable replacements in my experience. C++
explicitly has design goals like 'Leave no room for a lower level
language' and the zero-overhead principle. These generally apply 
to
DasBetterC too.

Many would also argue that Rust and some newer languages like Zig 
fit
the bill too.
