I mean it in the sense of starting new development of a major new project with it. Of course, C will be around a very long time, like COBOL and FORTRAN.

How many new embedded projects are picking non-C languages currently? I'm no fan, but C is a long way from dead.

I would wager the percentage of embedded projects than are picking C has decreased in the past 10 years. I have no direct evidence of that, but I think it's a likely guess.
