I would say that the characteristics of C is: dead simple, manual memory management, "fancy assembly". Rust is close, but fails on being dead simple. The best attempt I know of, is Zig: http://ziglang.org/ http://ziglang.org/ But it's still very early in development. I am using it for microcontroller code right now though, and it's much nicer than C already, despite having to deal with bugs.
