zig
General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
In terms of C vs Elisp, Elisp is definitely not oriented towards communicating with hardware. But "better than C" when it comes to communicating with hardware is very subjective and context-dependent, so there's no single 'right answer'. In some contexts assembly might be the best option; in others C++ might be better; Zig is a new language, currently under heavy development, which seeks to compete with C; and let's not forget Fortran, which is still actively used in high-performance scientific computing.
