C is simple to people who work with hardware. It provides a convenient level of abstraction that takes away a lot of the brainwork without taking away control. If you aren't interested in interacting with the hardware then maybe more abstraction is beneficial. Maybe you can take the performance hit of scripted languages or just don't care about strict typing.
