Aaaaaaaag!!! Language Wars Alert!!! Flame sheilds on full power!!!
I would amend that statement a bit:
C is not Pascal; it is better [at some things.  Pascal is not C, it is

Pascal excels at safety checks within the code, and cleanness of syntax.
C excells at having powerful tools.  Use what you need.
