There are two different things you can mean when you say "C is not suitable to these kinds of applications". One is the more extreme, "You should not be using C, you should be using <other existing language> because it is more suitable." That's a bit of a hard sell; though specific alternatives should be evaluated on their merits. There is also, "there are design choices that have been made in C that make it worse for these applications than C would have been were it not for those choices", which seems an easy case to make.
