When it comes to build systems, creating lightweight and efficient binaries that integrate with libraries and couple nicely with package managers... I think C is still one of the best options, although Go has come a long way and Rust isn't too far behind. In terms of security, I believe Rust has an advantage, but I've yet to find any exploits in the C programs that I use that would have somehow been mitigated completely with Rust, and there are a lot of unsafe Rust programs out there as well.
