A language from an entirely different paradigm (Functional language, Garbage collection, tons of abstractions and a huge API) cannot ever be a replacement for or even compete on the same playing field C. We are talking apples to oranges here.

These languages are not comparable equivalents. Their specialties are completely opposite. To make their output equivalent, you would have to construct an AI system more advanced than anything that exists today.
